The Martin Chronicles is tracking down an audio file that contains Villa Hills malfeasant Mayor Mike Martin's profane outburst directed at the Civil Service Board. Martin's expletive-laced explosion occurred at last week's Civil Service Board meeting regarding a temporary agreement reached between Martin and Assistant Chief Joe Schutzman.
We understand that Martin was highly agitated because one of the SEVEN TAXPAYER-FUNDED ATTORNEYS Martin recently hired referred to the mayor's upcoming "lawsuit against the City" as, well, uh, er, a "lawsuit against the City". Why? Because Martin is preparing to file yet another "lawsuit against the City", paying for it with TAXPAYER MONEY. [Should we be happy that Councilmembers Cahill, Koenig, Menninger-Isenhour and Wischer recently voted to remove any restrictions from the City's budget so that Martin could rush out and hire his army of attorneys? No, we shouldn't.]
Sources tell us that the attorney and most of the board members were shocked by Martin's fit of frenzy. Why? Because Martin has worked hard to hide his rage for many years. Over the last several months Martin's anger has been publicly boiling over with increasing frequency.
Martin seems to have a difficult time dealing with facts. He appears far more comfortable in the deceitful world he has created for himself. Martin has told you a great deal about his fantasy world. Have you been listening? You know, the one where there has been a long-standing conspiracy carried out by dark forces to stop Martin from "saving" his fantasy world . . . the world where Martin does nothing wrong . . . the world where people won't work with Martin . . . the world where evidence is planted and people commit perjury to frame Martin . . . the world where Martin believes all he has to say is "I didn't know that then-but I know it now" absolves him of absolutely any indiscretion.
Sources tell us that Martin seems to be getting more and more agitated. Several patrons told one of our reporters that they recently saw Martin having lunch at the bar in PeeWees. These witnesses say Martin was busily texting and appeared angrier and angrier with each new text he received. Why? Who knows. But Martin does seem to be far less able to hide his explosive temper. That points to stormy seas ahead.
By the way, every taxpayer in Villa Hills should strongly consider something important when they try to decide whether or not they are-as Martin told them in March, 2012-"getting exactly what they voted for". As we have written, the taxpayers are now funding at least SEVEN ATTORNEYS to deal with all of the massive problems Martin has created over the past two-and-a-half years. At the same time, the Villa Hills Police Department is only able to field FOUR POLICE OFFICERS. That is indisputable evidence of mismanagement writ large.
Martin's dreadful mismanagement explains why Kenton County Police cruisers are now patrolling the streets of Villa Hills.
