Better Kinda Late Than Never

The Martin Chronicles understands. We really do. Well, pretty much anyway. It generally takes a lot to get a large number of people riled up about the same issue. But we have to admit that it looks like Villa Hills malfeasant Mayor Mike Martin has finally struck a nerve with a very large segment of the troubled town's heretofore befuddled residents.

People were badly fooled by Martin and his hillbilly lynchmob in the 2010 mayoral election. People were badly fooled by Martin and that same hillbilly lynchmob yet again in the 2012 council election (the homemade "STOP BULLYING" sign on Rogers Road sure seems like a very long time ago now, doesn't it?). It doesn't look like Martin is fooling the residents this time. But can the residents hang on long enough to do something about it?

Prior to Martin's VENDETTA against the Villa Hills Police Department becoming UNDENIABLY CLEAR, people seemingly didn't care all that much that:

  • Martin runs an UNLICENSED CONTRACTING BUSINESS, despite the fact that he is tasked with enforcing those licenses with other contractors operating in Villa Hills in his mayoral role.
  • Martin LIED about the fact that he was suing the residents for $1.505 MILLION.
  • Martin COMPLETELY DISREGARDS State Open Records and Open Meetings laws.
  • Martin surrounds himself with TAXPAYER-FUNDED CRONY HIRES.
  • Martin was CONVICTED ON SEVEN OF NINE COUNTS OF OFFICIAL MISCONDUCT AND NEGLECT OF DUTY.
  • Martin cut himself a $23,000 TAXPAYER-FUNDED BONUS CHECK.
  • Martin LIED REPEATEDLY about his covert, radical plans to DISBAND THE VILLA HILLS POLICE DEPARTMENT.

But now it seems different. People may finally be seeing it. Martin is not only coming after the police department. Martin is coming after the residents too. Martin is raising their taxes. Martin is making them less safe. Martin is suing them. Martin is threatening to have them silenced. Martin is threatening to have them arrested and jailed.

People all over Villa Hills want Martin gone now. It won't happen. Martin was inexplicably spared by former Councilmen Pope and Noll last October. Now it's too late. That window is closed.

But a lot of people now see beyond the simple-minded hillybilly ass hat-generated smoke and mirrors. Here is the truth. You CANNOT trust this mayor. He does TERRIBLE things to people.

Martin has also insulated himself with a TAXPAYER-FUNDED GOON SQUAD. He no longer has to answer questions. He no longer has to be accountable.

Let's face it. These TAXPAYER-FUNDED GOONS have no real motivation to bring about the "lawfulness" and "normalcy" they promised. Why? Because the more turmoil Martin generates, the more money they make. It's really just that simple.

Martin has a great deal of support from at least three council people: Koenig; Menninger-Isenhour and Wischer. Maybe more. They will do nothing. That is except to serve as enablers for Martin.

The next chance the voters have to fix Martin's mess is November 4, 2014. The voters need to send some council people packing as well. But that is still 523 days away.
