The Martin Chronicles has used humor to point out that at least some of the incoming Villa Hills council members have yet to meet a tax they didn't like. But it really isn't funny. And it really is true.
Let's start with the re-animated, mean-spirited Mary Koenig. For full disclosure, we suspect that there has been such an influx of hayseeds and hillbillies into the City over the past five years that there is almost no institutional memory of Koenig's despicable engineering of the disaster that was Mayor Steve Clark's brief administration and the termination of then-Police Chief Corky Brown (which, by the way, is one of the reasons we wonder why in the wide, wide world of sports soon-to-be-councilman Jim Cahill had a Koenig campaign sign in his yard. Disgraceful? Gutless? Both?)
Okay. Back to Koenig. We suspect it won't be long before the dim-witted voters of Villa Hills recognize the severity of their mistake electing this grimalkin. If for no other reason than Koenig is going to immediately grab for their wallets.
Koenig supported the payroll tax. Koenig supported the insurance premium tax. Koenig supported the recreation tax. Koenig voted for the MAXIMUM PROPERTY TAX INCREASE EVERY SINGLE YEAR SHE WAS ON COUNCIL.
So what do we expect to happen this time? Look for the Rhine Maiden Koenig to push hard to increase the insurance premium tax to the maximum amount allowed by law. And don't be surprised when the primordial necromancer re-introduces a much larger version of THE ROAD TAX.
We have also learned that the money-grubbing City government in Ft. Wright now has the Kenton County hooligans collecting an ad valorem (based on its' value) tax ON THE CARS OF ITS' RESIDENTS. If we know it, so does the vile Koenig. Look for that pasty battle-axe to push hard to enact such a tax as soon as possible. And don't be surprised when Jim Cahill fully supports Koenig's krazy proposal. How will they sell it? They'll tell the other council newbies that "it's for the children" (pronounced "chowww-drin"). How could anyone vote against the chowww-drin?
We also anticipate the mediocre Martin will conduct another one of his pathetically stupid public debates between what his head and his heart are telling him to do. Then of course there will be the voices inside his head speaking to him as well. Ultimately, the venomous Koenig will get her way.
Look. We don't care. Not even a little bit. The way everyone at The Martin Chronicles sees it, the people of Villa Hills will once again be "getting what they voted for". Even if they were too stupid to realize it.
[EDITOR'S NOTE: We have a question for Villa Hills miscreant Mayor Mike Martin. Just who is "Mr. Jones"?]
