The Martin Chronicles just took a glancing look in the rear view mirror. The ho-hum City Fiftieth Birthday Party is disappearing into the dusty distance. That mess has been cleaned up. There is another-much, much larger-mess still to be dealt with.
Sources have been telling us that City Council is working to schedule a removal hearing for Villa Hills Mayor Mike Martin. The common sense majority on that council have had enough of the misconduct, criminal activity and incompetent mismanagement that has been the hallmark of Martin's "Reign Of Error".
A judge lambasted Martin for doing great harm to the Villa Hills residents by his illegal January 5 records barbecue on April 26. His destruction of City records and subsequent cover-up is a big deal. State statute says it could be a CLASS D FELONY. It is far more than "burning some papers".
It is time for Martin to answer questions about that egregious bit of misconduct. Special Counsel laid out proof of many more examples of Martin's misconduct and criminal activity on April 30. Martin callously explained he was not given the opportunity to explain his misdeeds to Special Counsel's "company". If that was all it took to clear everything up, why has Martin declined every opportunity to talk to Special Counsel ever since. The time has well since past for Martin to be held accountable.
The hillbilly lynch mob, peaceniks, Civic Club dipweeds, St. Joe's holier-than-thou's and crazy Facebook posters can say whatever they want. Let them defend corruption. Let them explain away the misconduct. Let them trivialize criminal activity. Let them disregard Martin's countless lies. Let them support Martin's non-stop LIBEL, SLANDER and DEFAMATION. Council needs to move ahead.
The Martin Chronicles believes that all of the evidence should be laid out. If now-State Senate candidate Jim Noll or Martin sycophant Mike Pope wants to vote against removal, let them explain "WHY" they think Martin's misconduct and criminal activity is okay to the residents of Villa Hills.
And they will certainly get the opportunity to do so.
