The Martin Chronicles says farewell to Villa Hills' fiftieth birthday party. It was just one day-and now it is quickly disappearing in the rear view mirror. It's time for our reporters to get back to the work of chasing down leads on what is really important.
We are hearing rumors from several corners that a push is underway to schedule a removal hearing for Mayor Mike Martin. Despite the PR stunts and trumped-up demonstrations of support, the majority of council seems to clearly understand that they are the ones who must decide whether or not Martin will be removed from office.
If one was to base their estimation of public opinion on spectacles and sideshows, it would have been fair to conclude that Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker was going to lose his recent recall election in an epic landslide. Instead, Walker won handily. Most voters told pollsters that they believed the only reason elected officials should be removed from office is misconduct.
The Martin Chronicles believes the majority of Villa Hills residents think the same thing. Setting aside the Civic Club morons, peaceniks, St. Joe's jerks and Facebook nut jobs, of course.
If a hearing is held, council will base their decision solely on evidence of Martin's misconduct. That is the way it should be.
Mike Martin. Mr. Truth and Integrity. What a joke.
