Holy Hayseeds, Batman!!

The Martin Chronicles beloved publisher got in to the reporting business decades ago because he believed it was the best way to fulfill his childhood dream of living his doing the work of his hero, The Batman. Since this is "Halloween Week", we thought we might have some fun at the publisher's expense-at least until or if he takes down the post!


Much like that hero of his youth, our publisher is pondering his latest assault against the forces of the crime. Just like The Batman, our beloved leader is ready to take on the denizens of the underworld who currently threaten the not-so-teeming town of Villa Hills.

So who are these denizens of the underworld. First and foremost, the current arch villain is malfeasant Mayor Mike Martin. Where else can a strange, dark character like Martin run a City in to the ground than Villa Hills? Where else can a strange, dark character like Martin recklessly runs an unlicensed contracting business without notice? Where else can a strange, dark character like Martin survive being CONVICTED OF SEVEN OF NINE COUNTS OF OFFICIAL MISCONDUCT AND NEGLECT OF DUTY and still remain in office? Martin is a bizarre combination of The Joker, The Riddler and The Penguin.


So, how is that possible. Well, Martin is ably assisted by henchman who are helping him hold on to his power. First, you have his personal-and now City-Attorney Toad v. McMurtry who threatens to file lawsuits against anyone who opposes Martin. Then, you have his City Administrator-disguised as a City Clerk-Craig Bohman who acts like the man who cleans up after the elephants in the circus parade. Finally, you have a crony who was hired to foul up the City's financial records to keep residents from completely understanding the mess Martin has made with taxpayer money. They are the arch-villain's thugs.
  
These pathetic thugs can threaten and even file all of the taxpayer-funded lawsuits they want. They can spread all of the LIES that they can. They can provide all of the false testimony that Martin makes them feel free to spread. It doesn't matter. Because our own version of The Batman is watching.
 
 
Our version of The Batman has found someone who is willing to spill the beans against Villa Hills' arch villain Mike Martin. It appears to be some kind of relative (step-sister, half-sister, who knows?) named Kelly Abney who has decided to move to North Dakota. What she has to say perfectly describes the malevolent Martin. Despite the dwindling number of nitwits who proclaim that they "trust this mayor", Kelly Abney gives testimony that underscores THE FACT that Martin is indeed an arch villain.
 




 
Our readers have come to know that our publisher is watching Martin's waste, fraud and abuse virtually around the clock. Whenever something goes haywire, wherever taxpayer money is squandered or misused, whoever feels the wrath and abuse of the diminutive dictator's persistent abuse power, our version of The Batman will be there. So will we. And we'll makes sure you are aware as well.
