Mudjackin' Mary

The Martin Chronicles solicited the expertise of a civil engineer to help us understand the latest in an already long line of taxpayer-funded waste, fraud and abuse in what the hillbillies and hand-wringers thought was going to be Villa Hills' meat-headed Mayor Mike Martin's golden moment. If by that these yahoos and civic club ass clowns meant it was far less likely that Shorty would be convicted on another seven charges of misconduct and neglect of duty they were probably right. But that's not what those morons meant.

So let's talk about the disaster that the vile, ancient crocodile Councilman Mary Koenig is cooking up in her miscast role of chairman of the public works committee. Koenig plans to discharge tens of thousands of taxpayer dollars beneath the aging streets of Villa Hills. Why? The repulsive Koenig doesn't possess the first clue why. But the vile ancient crocodile sure was eager to announce all of the money she was going to waste doing "lots more mudjacking". 

Enter our civil engineer. This experienced professional acknowledges that mudjacking-also known as slab-jacking-has its place. But the engineer is convinced that malicious Mary has no idea what that "place" is.

The engineer explained that mud-jacking involves pumping extremely large amounts of expensive grout beneath the concrete streets. The purpose? To fill the voids created by water that is flowing beneath the streets.

Sounds great right? But our expert went on to explain that filling the voids beneath the streets does not solve the water problem. Think about it. When you prevent flowing water from going in one direction, what does it do? It goes in a different direction. Simple right? But for Mayor Moron and his band of meatheads, not so much.

Interestingly, the cost of such mudjacking in Villa Hills always seems to fall just a few dollars short of the amount that triggers the mandated bidding process. [For the record, that is the subject of another Martin Chronicles investigation.] So every time The Fidgety Forger and the repulsive Koenig witlessly decide to divert flowing water elsewhere, it's going to cost YOU roughly TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS.

So exactly why is Mary's mudjacking such a waste? Because The Nitwit From Norwood is doing absolutely nothing to solve the ongoing, persistent problem of water flowing beneath the streets of his little town. YOU are paying TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS to-maybe-add a few years of life to a void-filled street. And-oh by the way-really only sending the water in a different direction to do what? Create new voids.

Look, you now know The Corrupt CEO lied to you when he promised you he was going to eliminate the UNFAIR $40 PER CAR STICKER TAX as he travelled door to door spreading lies and libel in his 2010 dirtbag mayoral campaign. Working with his buddy County Boss Steve Barfinghaus, Shorty continues to fleece you out of the UNFAIR $40 PER CAR STICKER TAX to this day. So why doesn't The Little CEO do something smart with YOUR money? Wait a minute. It's The Stammering Swiveler. Never mind.

It will get worse before it gets better. Look for the your-money-grubbing Koenig to begin to bellow and bray about the need for more revenue [read: more of YOUR money] for her street "repair" efforts. But hey, it's only twenty specialty pizzas and two cases of beer.

One last question. Where in the world is former Councilloon Mike Pope? Has he finally seen a detailed fifty-year road plan that satisfies him from the malicious Councilman Koenig? We don't think so.

[EDITOR'S NOTE: We understand that ramping-up-to-run-Shorty-out-of-town-in-2014-shadow mayoral candidate Teddy Stilleto does have a common-sense road plan ready to go in Villa Hills.]
