In case you haven’t been paying close enough attention, the number of Mary Koenig’s meeting absences is starting to pile up. Why does someone whom the voters entrusted to take the tough votes and make the difficult calls take a pass at crucial times? People are starting to wonder why Koenig seems to be doing exactly that.
Let’s take a look at just the most
recent example. As most of you know, the mismanaging Martin decided to make the
attempt to ram through HIS ONEROUS NEW
ENERGY TAX at the last, untelevised caucus meeting. Despite the
indisputable fact that Martin answered none
of City Councils’ very pertinent questions about HIS ONEROUS NEW
ENERGY TAX, the diminutive dictator fully expected that the council
should vote to approve it without delay.
Sure, Martin’s insulting attempt to
ram through HIS ONEROUS NEW ENERGY
TAX at an untelevised caucus meeting-where no public comment was allowed-was outrageous. Sure, Martin’s abject failure to address any of City Councils’
concerns betrayed the tiny tyrant's complete lack of transparency. Sure, the
malevolent Martin’s personal-and now City-Attorney
Toad V. McMurtry’s exhortations that the council should rubber-stamp MARTIN’S
NEW ENERGY TAX were completely inappropriate.
This is exactly why Mary Koenig should have been there. Koenig should have been there to represent the
voters who elected her to protect their interests. But she wasn’t there.
So why did Mary Koenig “pull an
Elvis”, telling the residents that “she has left the building” at too many critical
moments like the glaring one where Martin was attempting to ram through HIS ONEROUS NEW ENERGY TAX? The Martin Chronicles
reporters are hearing many theories. We’ll share just a few of them.
·
Some
residents are willing to give Koenig the benefit of the doubt. These residents
remind our reporters that Mary Koenig is retired. She has a busy travel schedule
and doesn’t always have time to fulfill her sworn obligation to the taxpayers
of the City that elected her last November. Is that a good thing?
·
Other
residents are saying that Koenig has always deftly avoided “the heat”. They
remind our hard-working reporters that she bailed out on her 1998 hand-picked
choice for mayor by choosing not to run for re-election in 2000. Just when her
hand-picked choice to run the City (in to the ground) needed her the most. Is
that a good thing?
·
Others
see Koenig doing something far more nefarious. They remind our reporters that
Koenig is already on the off-the-record record describing the mismanaging
Martin as “a tool”. These townies are convinced that Koenig is perfectly
satisfied with the prospect of Martin continuing to hang himself. Why? Because
these people are convinced that Koenig plans to run for mayor in 2014. Is that
a good thing?
We are inclined to believe that Mary
Koenig intends to run for mayor in 2014. This would represent her best-and final-chance to shape Villa Hills in
to her own image and likeness.
If
Koenig is indeed “laying low” to position herself to run for mayor, we are
fully ready to give our readers a very full dose of facts explaining why she
would be a terrible choice in the election that is now 385 days away.
