A Secret Meeting By Any Other Name

The Martin Chronicles finds itself in some rarefied air at the moment. Probably for the only time ever in history that it will happen, we generally agree with former Councilprovocateur Mike Pope. You see, Pope once described an untelevised caucus meeting as "SECRET". After watching Villa Hills malfeasant Mayor Mike Martin run roughshod over the law these past twenty-five months we stick to our guns calling last night's and every other well-kept secret caucus meeting exactly that, SECRET.

Whine all you want. Here is our position. If you haven't done everything you can to keep taxpayer business in front of the taxpayers-you have done nothing.

One of the bogus themes of Martin's dirtbag 2010 mayoral campaign was transparency. If the Open Records and Open Meetings problems of the past twenty-five months fit Shorty's definition of "transparency", we sure aren't going to hire his shoddy-at-best handyman company to clean any windows in The Martin Chronicles' palatial offices.

We also hear that The Nitwit From Norwood believes that at some point "people have an obligation to come to the meetings if they want to know what's going on". Good grief. Given the skyrocketing crime wave The Dissembling Dipstick's decimation of the Villa Hills police department has caused, NO WONDER NO SANE RESIDENT WANTS TO LEAVE THEIR HOME UNATTENDED JUST SO THEY CAN GO TO ONE OF HIS MEETINGS.

A SECRET MEETING by any other name would smell as corrupt.

TOAD JUMPS AHEAD

The Martin Chronicles is not writing about the notorious Dan'l from Mark Twain's story set in Calaveras County. Yes, this Toad is also notorious. But for a different set of reasons. We are writing about Villa Hills malfeasant Mayor Mike Martin's high-priced whore Toad McMurtry.

Sources tell us that this slimy Toad has hopped to the top of Shorty's list of prospects to replace the very-soon-to-be-jettisoned City Attorney Mike Duncan. We have to admit we are disappointed. Not because we don't relish the opportunities that will surely allow us to reveal McMurtry to be the braying jackass that he is.

No, its because we were so hoping The Nitwit From Norwood would pick former one-term council member and failed State Senate candidate Jim Noll. If Noll doesn't land the $70,000 a year Villa Hills gig we will have to conclude that he was a "cheap date" after all. Let's face it. Noll guaranteed to vote "NO" to The Fidgety Forger's removal-no matter the evidence-just for the price of Martin's loudmouthed wife Janet's help on his failed State Senate campaign? Really? Talk about your bargain-basement bribe.

Not to fear. The high-priced whore Toad McMurtry will provide endless hours of mindless entertainment. This doofus has already generated a large amount of animosity by calling Police Chief Dan Goodenough "unethical" and a "liar". McMurtry even scolded Goodenough for not telling Mayor Moron that he was not allowed to break the law. McMurty also accused Detective Schutzman of "planting evidence" and called the detective "a baboon". We wonder what McMurtry's pals at Covington Latin think about such un-Christian name-calling?
