The Martin Chronicles has had Villa Hills Mayor Mike Martin figured out for a looooong time. Despite what his supporters may or may not still believe, we know Martin is not just your run-of-the-mill amiable dolt. He is both dangerously stupid and dangerously corrupt.
He has an excuse for everything. And all of them lame. His bizarre statement feebly attempting to explain away the libelous claims he made in his April Unahandyman Manifesto would be shocking if they came from anyone other than the serial-prevaricator Martin. For Martin, outrageous lies are the standard bill of fare.
So what did Martin say at last night's council meeting to try to deflect attention away from his LIBEL and DEFAMATION about files being erased from the computer in the mayor's office? After admitting that there really is no forensic report that makes that false claim, he made an historic understatement, "It was a poor choice of words".
No, Mr. Martin. It was a LIBELOUS choice of words. The intent of your words was to DEFAME someone. It was a "note" you wrote. It was a "note" you signed (under the title of mayor). You and the taxpayers may very well pay dearly for that.
The real "poor choice" was made on November 2, 2010.
