The Martin Chronicles continues to follow the foul fallout from Villa Hills malfeasant Mayor Mike Martin's misconduct and neglect of duty. Martin's incompetence and corruption have now placed everyone's wallet at major risk.
How so? Well, inside sources tell us that the Kentucky League of Cities (KLC)-who has provided insurance protection for the City now for many, many years-has finally said, "Enough is ENOUGH!!!"
The last straw? That came courtesy of the malicious Martin and his high-priced whore Toad McMurtry's October 3 lawsuit filed against Councilmembers Bruns, Kilburn, Noll, Pope, Ringo and Sogar. In a brief aside, it is not without great irony that the mean-spirited Martin is suing Noll and Pope even after they made their secret agreement to vote against Shorty's removal no matter the evidence. It now looks like Interim City Clerk Sue Bree isn't the only loyal toadie who is ending up with bus tire tracks across her back.
Our sources at the KLC's headquarters in Lexington tell us that they have informed Martin and others that they will not provide insurance coverage for the cost of Martin and Toad McMurtry's lawsuit or the various and sundry legal actions triggered by the misstepping Martin's ongoing mayhem. That clearly explains why Martin is now trying to BLACKMAIL the council into using your money to pay for McMurtry.
The Martin Chronicles-and most of you-know exactly what happened. The mendacious Martin stalled, stone-walled and evaded the truth for more than a year, running up much-larger-than-necessary legal bills. Despite all of Martin's tortuous tap-dancing, he was finally found GUILTY on seven of the nine charges preferred against him. No matter what Martin's hillbilly lynchmob claims, Martin is the one who caused this expense.
Martin is trying to make it worse. He wants you to pay for his high-priced whoreToad McMurtry as well.
By the way, before you cast a vote for council candidates Dale Schaber, Mary Koenig, Brian Wischer or Holly B. Menninger-Isenhour you had better realize that THOSE FOUR WILL MOST ASSUREDLY VOTE TO USE YOUR MONEY TO PAY MCMURTRY.
Phil Taliaferro had it exactly right when he described Jim Noll and Mike Pope's secret deal to ignore the evidence of Martin's misconduct and neglect of duty as, "unleashing the lawlessness of Mike Martin".
Now you are going to pay dearly for it.
[EDITOR'S NOTE: October, 2012 has been the best month in the short but storied history of The Martin Chronicles. We have welcomed nearly TWELVE THOUSAND VISTORS just since October 1. Sadly, we owe it all to the misconduct and neglecty of duty of the guy who is truly giving you exactly what you voted for. Or so he says. Thanks Shorty!]
