The Martin Chronicles doesn't really believe that Villa Hills malfeasant Mayor Mike Martin thinks he is a greater legal mind than Clarence Darrow. He believes a lot of very weird things. We aren't kidding now. Martin believes many, many, many very weird things. Have you ever talked to the guy? C'mon!
And Shorty sometimes makes comments that could lead one to conclude that his next step should be to don one of the nine robes on the Supreme Court of the United States. But we really don't think he believes that. At least we are pretty sure he doesn't. Well, maybe he does. But we sure hope he doesn't.
So what's going on in Martinville? He might say he didn't know that he couldn't illegally dock pay then. But he knows that now.
We have confirmed leaked information from deep inside the overflowing bowels of the Martin misadministration that The Little Man From Norwood has caved in. He's done a U-Turn. He's crawfishin'. He's cutting and running. He's doing a major backflip. How so? Well, we are told that Shorty is reversing field. On what? On his retaliation against the City employees whose pay he illegally docked for daring to testify at the removal hearing.
We have been told that Martin has even agreed to pay at least one employee who didn't put in for any pay for the time they spent testifying. Perhaps it's the "healing process"? More likely it is the realization that one of very last things Shorty needs now is a visit from the Labor Department. Or, worse yet, a summons to appear before Judge Summe yet again.
You know what would be interesting? It would be interesting to confirm whether or not Martin was consistent in his illegal docking of employee pay. Did he dock the pay of interim City Clerk Sue Bree and whatever-you-are-paying-her-to-do-now MARY HARDMAN for their time spent testifying? We'll let you know when we get the answer.
