- Let's hope the idea of the City BORROWING ONE MILLION DOLLARS for street repair offered up by Councilman Brian Wischer doesn't gain any traction. We have learned that some thoughtful reasons for not creating seven figures in new debt were put forward by another councilman. We can think of one very good one which should be more than enough. The taxpayers do not need to be on the hook for any more of Martin's mess. Will this idea gain momentum with Martin and his council majority? We'll see.
- On a related note, Martin announced that he needs ONE MILLION DOLLARS to effect street repairs on Valley Trails. Will that become the justification for BORROWING ONE MILLION DOLLARS sometime soon? We'll see.
- Martin's personal-and now taxpayer-funded City-attorney has seemingly decided to step in to the realm of policy. How? The City Attorney strongly defended the idea of council raising property taxes by THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT ALLOWED BY LAW. Observers report that Martin also wants another $60,000 of your money to be collected that way. Will property taxes be increased. We'll see.
- As you know, Martin is paying an outside attorney to sue for collection of any unpaid UNFAIR $40 PER CAR STICKER TAXES. Some might say that is bad enough. We learned last night that Martin and his "Gang of Three" are considering offering some form of "amnesty" to those who have not paid their property taxes. We don't quite understand the inconsistency. Will Martin offer amnesty for unpaid property taxes while still continuing to sue people to collect the UNFAIR $40 PER CAR STICKER TAX? We'll see.
- Police Chief Dan Goodenough confirmed that the reason that local police officers are leaving is "lack of job security". Will Martin's destruction of the Villa Hills Police Department continue unabated? We'll see.
- On a related note, one councilman asked Martin to put an official end to the quest of his radical plan to disband the local police department. Observers say that Martin, Koenig and Wischer greeted that proposal with stony silence. Menninger-Isenhour skipped the meeting. Did Martin's odd silence tip the hand of his true intentions? We'll see,
We have one final question for now. Will the voters finally decide to put a final end to Martin's misadventures in City government in 446 days?
Once again, we'll see.
