The Martin Chronicles has been listening to the predictions about the council meeting scheduled for Wednesday night. Some predict there will be no meeting because the next day is Thanksgiving.
Others are expecting the hillbilly lynchmob to show up and hold what has been described as a "gloatfeast" at the expense of the outgoing councilmembers. That would be truly classless. As Jed Clampett used to say, ridge runners who would pull such a stunt would be "lower than a snake's belly in a wagon rut". Which means it could certainly happen. Look, we don't call these knuckleheads Martin's hillbilly lynchmob for nothing.
Either way, most of the outgoing incumbents should keep their chins up. Standing up for the law and what is right is nothing to be ashamed of-whether a significant block of Villa Hills voters grasp that or not.
Four of the council served the residents very well for multiple terms. They accomplished many positive things. The voters certainly picked an odd way to recognize their years of dedicated service. The election results speak volumes about the ongoing decline of a City that was voted Northern Kentucky's finest just a couple of years ago.
The four council people who were targeted in the last election have nothing to be ashamed of. It is Martin who should be ashamed for what has happened.
But Shorty is clueless.
[PUBLISHER'S NOTE: Lest we forget, Happy Thanksgiving to our growing audience. Hey, it could always be a lot worse!]
