The Martin Chronicles had reporters working a Northern Kentucky church festival this past weekend. While we sometimes wonder if enough people in malfeasant Mayor Mike Martin's Villa Hills have finally figured out what a mess their diminutive dictator has created in their troubled town, we gained further confirmation that many others have correctly taken the measure of the pint-sized punk.
Here are some of the comments that our reporters brought to this morning's meeting:
"Why didn't the city council remove Martin from office when they had the chance? It was obvious that he broke several laws. Now he's tearing that City apart. That guy is a CROOK!"
"Why aren't more people in Villa Hills upset about Martin using TAXPAYER money to appoint his own personal attorney to the City Attorney job? Who in their right mind thinks that's a good idea?"
"I can't believe people in Villa Hills aren't throwing a fit about Martin signing a purchase order to generate a check for himself for more than $23,000!"
"All you have to do is look at that guy (Martin). He even looks like a rat."
"What dumbasses support disbanding the Villa Hills Police? If a real leader wanted to save money, why would he look at CUTTING SAFETY FIRST?"
"You know a mayor is in big trouble when he has to gavel down his own wife at a council meeting."
"What is it about Villa Hills? It seems like there is always some bizarre thing happening there."
"Doesn't Villa Hills have around eight thousand residents? Couldn't they find someone better that A FORGER to run City government? How stupid are they?"
"I wonder how many of those people who voted to give Martin a whole new council now realize that the problem is Martin? They can't be that stupid, can they?"
"Martin is just such a babbling idiot that a lot of people in Villa Hills feel sorry for him. Even though all he does is rip them off. That guy is A JOKE!"
"Why did (Kenton County Judge Executive Steve) Arlinghaus jump in to defend Martin? Is there something fishy there that we should know about?"
The best exchange?:
"Why did Martin do (A), (B), (C) and (D)?
"I know why."
"So, tell me why."
"Because Martin is a DUMBASS!"
The voters of Villa Hills have 414 days to come to the same-correct-conclusion.
