Transparency And Respect

The Martin Chronicles takes words very seriously. We understand that political hacks of all stripes misuse words to paper over what they are really doing. The word “investment” is used instead of government spending. The word “contribution” is a terrible euphemism for yet another tax. When politicians combine the words “shared” and “sacrifice”, grab on to your wallet because everyone is about to take it in the shorts.

Villa Hills’ malfeasant Mayor Mike Martin and vile ancient crocodile Councilman Mary Koenig are world-class political hacks. They are also quite fond of misusing words. Two of the many words Martin and Koenig misuse will be the focus of this post. Those words are “transparency” and “respect”. The complete lack of one led to the total disregard for the other.

First, let’s look at the correct definition of both words. Why? Because both the mendacious Martin and the loathsome Koenig love to tell people they live by those two words. Transparency is defined as “openness or clarity”. Respect is defined as “regard or admiration”.
We have recently learned with undeniable certainty that Martin has been secretly planning to disband the Villa Hills Police Department to contract with another agency for (LESS SAFE) protection. How did it happen? Martin slipped up when he was talking to a reporter from the dinosaur media. Perhaps that explains why Martin’s personal-and now TAXPAYER-FUNDED CITY- attorney Toad McMurtry has advised Martin to stop talking to the media.

 A recent newspaper article also betrays Martin’s persistent LIE that he was approached by officials from other Cities. The mayor of Ft. Mitchell was quite clear that it was Martin who approached him. We have told you for many months that Martin actually began his SECRET PLANNING even before he was elected in 2010. Officials from other Cities have now also confirmed this. There has been nothing the least bit transparent about this bit of Martin deceit.
We also now know that Martin actually had police officers from other Cities lined up to serve as supervisors right after he took office in 2011. The only thing that derailed this part of Martin’s plan was the fact that a Civil Service ordinance was passed that prevented the malevolent Martin from immediately firing Police Chief Dan Goodenough and Detective Joe Schutzman. The new council has stripped away those Civil Service protections. So look out.
Our last look at Martin’s phony claim of transparency. The mendacious mayor was presented with the opportunity of ending the monthly SECRET MEETINGS. How? Councilmembers Balson, Baehner and Cahill voted to televise those SECRET MEETINGS. Not surprisingly, the horrendous Koenig and her two puppets, HBM-I and Brian R. Wischer voted to continue the SECRECY. So how did the mendacious Martin vote to break the tie? The SECRETIVE SELF-APPOINTED SUPERIOR voted with Koenig and her drones to keep the meetings SECRET.
What about respect? The disgusting Koenig said that the previous council didn’t respect the residents when she spoke at the 2012 Hillbilly Hoedown misnamed a candidate forum. How is that working out?
Martin trampled all over the free speech and assembly rights of residents who attended the March 20 council meeting hoping to address their concern about Martin’s SECRET PLAN. Is that respect?
The March 20 disgrace is worse than that. Martin actually rose up out of his chair, came around the council table and began wagging his finger in the face of and yelling at an elementary school teacher who simply asked when she would be allowed to speak. Is that respect?
The March 20 disgrace is even worse than that. Martin demanded that Police Chief Dan Goodenough remove the elementary school teacher and anyone else who dare question the absolute authority of the miscreant mayor. Is that respect?
Following the disgrace of March 20, Martin signed an Executive Order in to law-mostly likely written by personal and now TAXPAYER- FUNDED City Attorney Toad McMurtry-that now provides the malevolent Martin with sweeping powers to arrest people he may designate as dissidents. Martin’s twisted thinking? Let’s scare the residents from any thought of attending council meetings and voicing opposition to MARTIN’S SECRET PLAN TO DISBAND YOUR POLICE DEPARTMENT. Is that respect?
Special Counsel Phil Taliaferro had it exactly right last October when he said that former Councilmen Mike Pope’s and Jim Noll’s pathetic complicity in failing to remove the malfeasant mayor would unleash Martin’s LAWLESSNESS.
