Wrong-headed voters crossed their fingers last November as they cast their ballots for the likes of vile ancient crocodile Councilman Mary Koenig and the lame, loopy HBM-I. The voters were desperately hoping the mismanaging Martin could finally have his "Golden Moment". Martin could finally show everyone what he could do. Martin could strut his stuff, so to speak.
In reality, that is exactly what the corrupt Martin is doing. It's quite obvious what Martin can do. He's out of excuses. He can't blame the past council. He can't blame the former City Attorney. He can't blame the Civil Service Commission. His excuses have been stripped away like so much rotten bark off a dead tree. Best of all? Martin has been the one doing the bark-stripping.
Just since January 1, 2013 Martin has:
- Been caught LYING about his SECRET PLAN TO DISBAND THE VILLA HILLS POLICE DEPARTMENT.
- Hired his personal attorney to also serve as his TAXPAYER-FUNDED City Attorney.
- Sparked a near-riot at the April Council meeting because of his lack of self-control.
- Signed an Executive Order in to law giving him sweeping-and unprecedented-power to have residents arrested.
- Proposed a budget that includes the MAXIMUM PROPERTY TAX INCREASE ALLOWED BY LAW for the third straight year.
- Has been forced to ask council to amend the City's budget by tens of thousands of dollars for the second consecutive year because of his dreadful MISMANAGEMENT of the TAXPAYER'S MONEY.
- Hired a City Administrator disguised as a City Clerk who begins SPYING ON EMPLOYEES before he completes his first week on the job.
