The Martin Chronicles enjoys poking fun at the pretentious, the sanctimonious, the foolish and the hypocritical. When one rides a high horse, they are very likely destined for quite a fall. The best part of gigging these nimrods is that they generally have no sense of humor and lapse into a full-blown hissy fit. It is a true guilty pleasure.
Sources report that the lamebrains at that cesspool called a Civic Club often sit around the bar trying to figure out the identities of "General Zod", "Split Rail", "Butt Crack", "Fat Boy Fat", "Sabre Tooth", "Crater Face", "(EXPLETIVE) Face", "Summer Teeth (as in summer green and summer missing)", "Boom Boom", "Billy Bob", "Slip", "Whitey" and "Sach". C'mon everybody. You know who you are!
We are really wondering what happened to the local Tea Partiers, Liberty Leaguers, 912'ers and the other various and sundry tri-cornered-hat-wearing, government-hating pinheads who infest our community. They were a part of the crazy coalition who elevated the current prevaricator-in-chief Mike Martin to the Villa Hills throne after all. And both Martin and their other anti-hero Mike Pope are (EXPLETIVE)ing them seven ways to Sunday.
How so? Both Martin and Pope voted to continue the UNFAIR $40 PER CAR STICKER TAX. Martin and Finance Committee Chairman Pope have wasted taxpayer dollars at an unprecedented rate. So much waste in fact that they had to beg council to approve a budget amendment to dip in to the City's already-dwindling cash reserves.
Martin and Pope ARE RAISING YOUR TAXES THIS YEAR. Some doofusses may say, "It's only 4%." But do you know why it's only 4%? BECAUSE THAT IS THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT THE LAW ALLOWS WITHOUT A REFERENDUM. And speaking of referendums, Martin and Pope tried to lure you into voting yourself a huge tax increase by lying to you that it was simply a vote to repeal the UNFAIR $40 PER CAR STICKER TAX. The way Martin mangled that tax campaign even earned him a "confidential" reprimand from the Villa Hills Ethics Board.
Martin's "Reign of Error" has been best exemplified by massive fiscal irresponsibility and largess writ larger. So, whither the Tea Party? Why don't we see the Liberty Leaguers and 912'ers dressed in waist coats, breeches and powdered wigs and waving their "Don't Tread On Me" flags during every council meeting? Why aren't they throwing their own "Villa Hills Tea Party", dumping Mountain Dew into the Civic Club lake?
Maybe they are still smarting from being caught by a judge for trying to perpetrate an "Axe the Tax" petition fraud-twice! More likely, they are simply clueless.
