The Martin Chronicles is sure you are no more surprised than we are that Martin and his three amigos: Koenig; Menninger-Isenhour and Wischer made their plans for the future of the Villa Hills Police Department about as official as possible at last night's council meeting. They did so via a vote against hiring two full-time police officers to shore-up Villa Hills' sorely depleted PD.
Those who have been saying that Martin and his pals plan to have this wrapped up by this fall see this as further proof. Martin and his pals can spend a fortune on unnecessary legal fees and improvement of land that abuts their personal property. But they continue to hammer away at the police department.
But why? It appears all four have some personal issue against the police. They have never made a compelling policy case for their radical plan. Oh, except for the vacuous, "we want to save a whole bunch of money" nonsense. Which of course they won't.
We are also looking in to the story behind former Interim City Clerk Sue Bree's missing written reprimand. You know, the one that was read in to the record at Martin's removal hearing last October? Well, it seems to have vanished some time over the next three months.
Did Martin remove the reprimand from Bree's file? If so, despite all of the serious problems Martin charged Bree with, she is considered "rehabilitated" in 90 days or less? But Assistant Chief Joe Schutzman is ushered out the door with zero counseling meetings on record?
We'll have more on Martin's meeting later.
