The Martin Chronicles is fortunate to have a staff and web of sources large enough to keep up with all of the craziness in malfeasant Mayor Mike Martin's Villa Hills. It isn't easy. But we somehow manage.
Chucky's Child's Play.
Does anybody but his family give a tinker's dam about the tripe Plucky Chucky Fieger wrote in his letter-to-the-editor posted on the Voice of Villa Hills website? You probably don't remember or never knew that the meager Fieger was vile ancient crocodile Councilman Mary Koenig's hand-picked mayoral candidate in a losing 2002 effort.
Chucky is parroting the Martin/Koenig spin that previous councilmembers were responsible for the riot at the March 20 council debacle-despite the fact they didn't even ask to speak. The eager Fieger takes it further suggesting these councilmembers shouldn't even be allowed to attend the meetings.
Chucky also parrots the Martin/Koenig excuse that the study is designed to see if Villa Hills can save time and money. A look at Crescent Springs' "outsourcing" debacle is just one example that shows no (response) time-savings. And if Martin really wants to save money, WHY DOES HE KEEP RAISING YOUR TAXES?
Schmucky Chucky goes even further, tastelessly condemning the former council people for having the nerve to attend church. No, really! Our suggestion? We would love nothing more than to see Yucky Chucky return to the obscurity in which he has resided for decades.
Ass Clown's React?
Multiple sources have reported that even some of the more strident Civic Club ass clowns are beginning to wake up to the fact that Martin has been LYING to them about his now-revealed SECRET PLAN TO DISBAND THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.
Our reaction? The fact that they ever believed Martin is ample proof that they are indeed ass clowns.
Cabana Boy's Debut.
Mary Koenig's Cabana Boy Craig Bohman will begin his job as Martin's City-Administrator-disguised-as-a-City Clerk on Monday, April 15. This one promises to be a hoot.
It's Not A Lie If You Believe It.
A few months back the mendacious Martin advised a member of the City's now-defunct Civil Service Commission that he wasn't going to re-appoint that member when his board term expired and Martin also said he was not going to replace the outgoing member of that board.
You probably won't be surprised to know that Martin then turned around and did replace the outgoing board member with former Covington Mayor Butch Callery. We suspect Martin will say his thinking evolved. Our response? What thinking?
Quip For A Dipsomaniac.
Sources at the Kenton County Justice Center allege that former-one-term-councilman-failed-State-Senate-candidate-arrested-driving-drunk-through-a-police-barricade-while-transporting-a-box-of-marijuana-editorial-writing-hater-of-disadvantaged-children-Jim Noll was granted his recent continuance at his pre-trial hearing because his lawyer was securing documentation that Noll had entered a "treatment program".
Hearing this piece of news, a local wag quipped, "I wonder if Noll spending Good Friday at Irene's Little Bar in Crescent Springs tossing back beers with actual councilman Brian R. Wisher is part of his treatment program"?
Anything is possible in Kenton County.
Personal-or City-Attorney?
Our reporters tell us that Martin's appointment of personal attorney Toad McMurtry to TAXPAYER-FUNDED City Attorney has really riled-up some of the natives. What do we say? Wait and see what happens when those natives get a snootful of McMurtry in action.
Martin's $23,000-Plus "Bonus".
Our reporters also tell us that folks really, really, really want to know how the miscreant Martin can justify paying himself a "BONUS" of more that $23,000 of TAXPAYER MONEY. Rest assured that Martin has no intention of ever justifying anything. He doesn't have to. He is THE SUPERIOR, after all.
