The Martin Chronicles can't be the only one who saw Villa Hills malfeasant Mayor Mike Martin announce that bilious blowhard County Judge Executive Steve Arlinghaus will now be charging the taxpayers for the police protection from the Kenton County Police. We have been telling you that this was coming. It had to. Arlinghaus had no right to charge all of the county taxpayers for police protection he was giving-at Kenton County taxpayer expense-to his buddy Mike Martin.
But its more interesting than that. You see, Martin never mentioned the fact that the council is now obligated to approve an inter-local agreement between the City he's destroying and Arlinghaus fiefdom.
So how will that happen? Our guess? Martin will declare the need for an emergency meeting to ram through an inter-local agreement. We also guess that the council will be provided absolutely no time to review that agreement. It will be remarkably similar to when council voted to approve Martin's plan to contract with the Northern Kentucky Area Planning and Zoning Commission-without ever seeing the contract.
Will Councilman Jim Cahill once again urge his colleagues to approve a contract they haven't seen because "we need the County's help?"
