The Martin Chronicles doesn't really wonder who to believe. The choice is stark. On the one hand we have Villa Hills' malfeasant Mayor Mike Martin telling anyone who will listen that he has no intention to disband the Villa Hilla Hills Police Department and contract with another agency for service. On the other hand, Martin's plans to disband the Villa Hills Police Department and contract with another agency for service were recently-and openly-discussed by bilious blowhard County Boss Steve Arlinghaus and at the Ft. Mitchell City Council meeting.
Given Martin's track record over the past two-plus years when it comes to truth-telling, we suspect that the folks from Kenton County and Ft. Mitchell have a better handle on what's coming than any of the poor people who are taking Martin at his word. Numerous sources say that the push to contract for police protection is well underway and will be made public well past the time when anyone can make much of a fuss about it.
Have you noticed the increased number of Kenton County, Erlanger and even Ft. Mitchell police cruisers in Villa Hills? We certainly have.
Look for Martin to announce this "great plan to save the taxpayer's all kinds of money" as soon as March as part of preliminary budget discussions. Hey, everyone should have known this was coming well before the 2010 elections. But it seems they didn't.
That's okay. We can all just buy more guns.
[EDITOR'S NOTE: The Martin Chronicles will be welcoming its' 90,000th visitor before the week is out thanks in large part to the continued misadventures of the malfeasant Mayor Shorty Martin. It's a blessing-and a curse.]
