The "formerly sealed" court records reveal that more shredded documents have been discovered on City property. This despite the fact that Judge Summe warned Martin that any further document destruction would be considered spoliation of evidence in a very serious LIBEL, SLANDER and DEFAMATION lawsuit that Martin's dirtbag 2010 campaign brought down on the heads of the taxpayers.
One City employee provided an affidavit to investigators that alleges "that there has been document shredding the entire time. It has never stopped". If this is true, Martin has been acting in flagrant contempt of a court order. And, as Judge Summe plainly said from the bench, continues "to do great harm to the residents of Villa Hills".
Interim City Clerk Sue Bree claims that it was her personal documents that were shredded. Really? You don't say?
- Does Ms. Bree know that Martin was hit with a "confidential reprimand" from the City's Ethics Board for the very same improper use of City equipment?
- Does Ms. Bree know anything about Judge Summe's stern April 26 order?
- Did Ms. Bree ask Martin for permission to improperly use the City's paper shredders?
If Ms. Bree knew about any of this she should be fired today. Come to think of it, if she is so clueless that she didn't know any of this, she should be fired today. Sources tell us that Martin has given Ms. Bree two pay increases in the last few months. This while he was frantically begging council to dip into the City's dwindling cash reserves to the tune of $150,000. None of this passes the proverbial "smell test".
So what does Martin have to say about all of this? The Little Man From Norwood claims he wasn't in the City Building. Affidavits from two City employees dispute Martin's assertion. Given the endless stream of lies told by Martin, we know who we believe.
Oh, and Martin also repeats the bilious blowhard County Judge Steve Arlinghaus' emetic charge that the Special Counsel investigation is a "witch hunt". No surprise. As the old saying goes, "skunks of a feather flock together".
Martin says that "the latest developments are tearing the City apart". Who the (EXPLETIVE)'s fault is that Mr. Martin? You need to look no further than your own mirror. It is your corrupt misconduct and talentless mismanagement that is destroying the City.
EDITOR'S NOTE: Stories we are working on -
- Is Martin preparing to launch a taxpayer-funded curbside document pickup service for Villa Hills residents, returning the documents to the City Building for shredding and disposal?
- Has Martin been smuggling City records to Haiti?
- Has Martin hired a famous Villa Hills make-up artist to help him "put on his face" for his upcoming removal hearing?
