WEEKENDER: A Little Bit Of This, A Little Bit Of That

The Martin Chronicles is soaking in all of the tumult and loathing of the past several weeks. Villa Hills’ malfeasant Mayor Mike Martin’s “Golden Moment” has vanished like the chimera it always was. Martin has hired his personal attorney Toad McMurtry to serve as his TAXPAYER-FUNDED City Attorney. Martin’s SECRET PLAN TO DISBAND YOUR POLICE DEPARTMENT has been accidently pulled out in to the full light of day. Martin signed an Executive Order in to law giving him sweeping powers to have “dissidents” arrested at City Council meetings. Martin cut himself a check for more than $23,000 OF YOUR MONEY WITHOUT ANY DOCUMENTATION. Oh, and there is so much more. No wonder our little blog continues to break new ground for readership.
So that’s why.

In case you were wondering why Martin has put forth an ordinance to move Villa Hills Council Meetings from the third Wednesday of every month to the second Wednesday of every month, we have the answer. You see, Martin’s personal attorney-and now also TAXPAYER –FUNDED-City Attorney- Toad McMurtry has a prior commitment on the third Wednesday of every month. You may not be aware that McMurtry stepped down as a Ft. Wright councilperson in order to become that City’s attorney some time ago. Well, Ft. Wright’s caucus meetings are held on the third Wednesday of every month. Hey. What’s good for Toad is good for Martin after all.

While we are on this subject, the monthly SECRET MEETING will also be moving. Why? To accommodate another schedule conflict for Toad in Ft. Wright.

Gotta free up money for the popcorn machine somehow.

Several sources confirm that council members the vile ancient crocodile Councilman Mary Koenig and her protégé HBM-I are exceeding their statutorily-defined authority and directing the beleaguered public works crew as they take over maintenance of the City’s leased ball fields. Our take? Why not? The public works crew isn’t doing any street repair work anyway.

Tell us it ain’t so.

We are trying to confirm what we consider to be wholly unsubstantiated reports that the head of the local chapter of the Aryan Nation has ordered yard signs that read, “Mayor Martin, We Support Your SECRET PLAN TO DISBAND THE VILLA HILLS POLICE DEPARTMENT”. We won’t know if these reports are true until we see a man wearing Cat-in-the-Hat headgear giving away those yard signs at the fire house.

In a related story, we are enjoying the wingnuts comments being posted on one of the Villa Hills stories found at WCPO.com. Someone using the name “JOE DAVOLA” is carrying Martin’s water for the SECRET PLAN TO DISBAND THE VILLA HILLS POLICE DEPARTMENT. It is worth noting that it was always “CRAZY JOE DAVOLA” on the popular ‘90s sitcom Seinfeld. Joe Davola indeed.

The “continuing” story of Jim Noll.

In case you hadn’t heard, former-one-term-councilman-failed-State-Senate-candidate-arrested-for-running-a-police-barricade-while-drunk-driving-and-transporting-a-box-of-marijuana-editorial-writer-who-hates-Shop-With-a-Cop-benefitting-underprivileged-children Jim Noll had the pretrial hearing for his arrest continued yet again, this time until April 25. In a related story, Noll re-tweeted a recent Twitter alert warning fellow travelers about the locations of OVI checkpoints.

Oh, there is more to Jim Noll’s continuing story. We have learned that Noll attempted to take his car off the lot where it was being stored as part of the investigation in to his February arrest. When confronted by the lot attendant, Noll misrepresented himself as “a councilman in Villa Hills”. Sources say Noll repeated that false claim multiple times. The result? Noll took a taxi to the Ft. Mitchell PD, obtained a copy of the vehicle release and returned to the lot. No, the story doesn’t end there. Noll initially refused to pay what he owed the lot in impound fees, once again claiming he was “a Villa Hills’ councilman”. Needless to say, Noll finally had to pay the fees to get his car. Are we the only ones who don’t feel safer knowing Noll now again has his car? Beautiful.

Checking out her claim.

Now that vile ancient crocodile Councilman Mary Koenig has announced that she was elected to enact Martin’s SECRET PLAN TO DISBAND THE VILLA HILLS POLICE DEPARTMENT and contract with another agency for (LESS SAFE) protection, we’ve sent two reporters to do some research. They are searching for Koenig campaign literature and talking to residents who Koenig may have made this “outsourcing” promise to during any door-to-door swings during last fall’s hillbilly tidal wave election. Not surprisingly, these reporters have had no luck yet. But they have just started. We’ll keep you posted.

One thing we do know about the despicable Koenig is the phony concern she expressed about being “respectful to the residents” as expressed at last year’s civic club hillbilly hoedown misrepresented as a “candidate forum”. Her idea of respect? Well, it doesn’t include allowing people who wanted to voice their concerns about Martin’s SECRET PLAN TO DISBAND THE VILLA HILLS POLICE DEPARTMENT. This despite that fact that “Public Comment” was part of the meeting’s agenda.

Rod, Rod, Rod.

First the positive. At this week’s SECRET MEETING, Councilman Rod Baehner told the malfeasant Martin that he disagreed with the miscreant mayor’s refusal to allow people to speak at the March 20 council meeting. The mendacious Martin snapped back, “That isn’t fair”. Oh, really? So since when is an accurate statement unfair? It could only happen in Martin’s bizarre, alternate reality.

Now the negative. Baehner reinforced his “weather vane” persona at the SECRET MEETING. How? He said, “Well, if the residents came to the meeting and said they were for outsourcing I’d have to change my mind.” Really Rod? Change your mind again?

Let us explain. First Baehner urged patience for the mayor’s SECRET PLAN TO DISBAND THE VILLA HILLS POLICE DEPARTMENT. Then Baehner said, “Who would ever support outsourcing”. Now Baehner has resumed flip-flopping.

The Martin Chronicles Rule Number One? “You are either in, or you are out”.

The “nightmare scenario”.

Some people are foolishly looking past Martin’s Reign of Error. These people are convinced that Martin is a sure-fire loser on Election Day November 4, 2014. Local political observers send a warning not to count any unhatched chickens. Why? Imagine this scenario. Martin runs for re-election against a field of challengers that include at least a couple of current council people, a couple of former council people, the former mayor of Covington who now resides in Villa Hills, some other community-minded residents and perhaps Mike Pope and yes, even Jim Noll.

If a ten-person mayoral field materializes, the malfeasant Martin could theoretically win with JUST ELEVEN PERCENT OF THE VOTE. Don’t think it could happen? There are still a large number of people who can’t believe the mismanaging Martin was ever elected in the first place.
 
HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND EVERYBODY!
