The Martin Chronicles has found Jim Noll's brief time on Villa Hills City Council both troubling and entertaining as (EXPLETIVE). No matter what happens, Noll has made a major contribution to the mendacious mayhem that has exemplified Mike Martin's now nearly first two years as the self-described CEO.
Noll has been very open about his refusal to vote to remove Martin from the mayor's office. No matter the evidence. Document destruction means nothing. The refusal to abide by State Open Records and Open Meetings statutes is irrelevant. Destruction of City property is no big deal.
Two items Noll is ignoring make sense to us, believe it or not. How can Noll condemn Martin for his misuse of City personnel and resources when Noll received a "confidential" reprimand from the Villa Hills Ethics Board for being a party to Martin's misconduct? And how in the world can Noll judge Martin for disregarding allegations of sexual harassment when Noll is the one accused of doing the harassing? In a twisted way, that makes sense.
Noll evidently thinks Martin's illegal business practices are also unimportant. So what if Martin does unlicensed electrical, plumbing and commercial work? So what if Martin avoids pemits and fees. Doesn't everybody?
We think Noll spends his time listening to the armpit-scratching troglodytes from the Civic Club and the holier-than-thou, sanctimonious pinheads from the St. Joe's Heavy Drinking Men's Society. Why? Because Noll is making a cynical vote calculation. Nothing more.
We have to admit we've enjoyed Noll's council antics. Altered states of consciousness. Witnesses who mislead about time clocks. "What's a caucus?" An inexplicable obsession for mediation. It has been devilishly fun to watch.
So Noll wants to give Martin a "pass" and go on to the State Senate? So he doesn't really believe anyone should obey the statutes that are passed? If he is victorious he will certainly make things entertaining in Frankfort.
Won't that be fun?
