New Readership Threshold

The Martin Chronicles is occasionally guilty of tooting its own horn. This post represents another of the few examples of that shortcoming. Why? Because we just welcomed our ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTIETH THOUSANDTH reader!

So why are so many people coming to a blog that covers a Northern Kentucky City that is only 3.5 square miles wide? Well, maybe its because...

• Those readers are trying to figure out how a mendacious clown like Mike Martin was ever elected to a responsible position like mayor in the first place. They want to know how someone who is operating an UNLICENSED ELECTRICAL AND PLUMBING BUSINESS who was SUING THE TAXPAYERS FOR $1.505 MILLION WHEN JUDGES OPINED THAT WHAT HE DID FIT THE VERY DEFINITION OF FORGERY was deemed worthy by a slim majority of voters to run their once-proud City.
• Those readers want to know why the mendacious Martin received a CONFIDENTIAL REPRIMAND from the Villa Hills Ethics Board for misusing City employees and resources.
• Those readers want to understand how former Councilmembers Mike Pope and Jim Noll voted not to remove the malfeasant Martin despite THE FACT that Martin was FOUND GUILTY ON SEVEN OF NINE COUNTS OF OFFICIAL MISCONDUCT AND NEGLECT OF DUTY.
• Those readers want to know why a judge dressed down the malfeasant Martin-from her bench- for ILLEGALLY DESTROYING City records.
• Those readers want to know how Martin can justify his dinosaur-media-documented, radical plan to disband the local police department despite the fact that he falsely claimed the HE HAD NO INTENTION OF DOING SO.
• Those readers want an explanation for Martin's signing of Executive Orders that allow him to arrest anyone who dares to question what he is doing in open Council meetings.
• Those readers want to get a legitimate explanation for Martin's signature on a purchase order that paid him MORE THAN TWENTY THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS and his justification for hiring his personal attorney to serve as the current City Attorney.
• Those readers would like to know how Martin can justify dipping in to the City's cash reserves for ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY THOUSAND DOLLARS to pay-at least in part-for the incredible legal bills he is generating.

Yes, our audience wants to understand how things got so bad so quickly. That's why we keep digging in to Martin's continuing malfeasance.

These same readers have the opportunity to resolve this terrible mess in 397 days. How? They'll be heading to the voting booth!
