Martin Chronicles sources are telling us that Villa Hills demented doofus Mayor Mike Martin is very close to announcing his appointment of his high-priced whore Toad McMurtry to replace long-serving City Attorney Mike Duncan. Evidently McMurtry leap-frogged a former one-term councilman and failed State Senate candidate who liked to bloviate about his "trusted name and new voice" after what wags have dubbed "The Grassy Noll" incident.
We are also told that Martin is laboring under the possible misimpression-no huge surprise-that he does not have to seek the approval of the six members of his newly-minted "golden moment" council. Some nitwittery about the $70,000-yes, $70,000-already being in the budget. We hope that high-priced whore Toad McMurtry didn't give The Dissembling Dipstick that advice. If so, Shorty and Toad may both need to re-visit the Kentucky Revised Statutes.
Many are concerned that, if approved by council, Toad would assume the job weighed down with far too many conflicts. He is The Norwood Nitwit's personal attorney after all. He represented Martin during a removal hearing that ended with the malfeasant mayor being found guilty on seven of nine serious charges of misconduct and neglect of duty. Toad also represents Martin in a lawsuit against six former councilpeople. Normally, these conflicts should be far more than enough to disqualify McMurtry. But nothing in the mendacious Martin's Villa Hills closely resembles normal.
McMurtry has also callously antagonized City employees. He called Police Chief Dan Goodenough "a liar" and "unethical", even making the ridiculous assertion that Chief Goodenough was responsible for the illegal Jan, 2012 document burn. Why? Because he didn't tell Martin that mayors aren't allowed to break the law.
But wait. There is more. McMurtry called Police Detective Joe Schutzman "a baboon" and accused him of "planting evidence" to frame Martin for the illegal document burn. Toad was also highly insulting to the Public Works Director and the Assistant City Clerk. So why does McMurtry want the job? Someone who knows him says McMurtry would "lick Martin's sandals for the right amount of money".
We have also learned that McMurtry has offered to help with "Villa Hills' (READ Martin's re-election) public relations efforts. Toad is probably the perfect person to paper over the maggot-infested, rotting corpse that is Villa Hills City government.
