Where to begin? How about this? The misdirecting Martin now wants to elevate City Clerk Craig T. Bohman to the position of City Administrator. A first reading for that amazing proposal was presented to Martin's "golden moment" council Wednesday night. We fully expect the council will vote to approve Martin's request at the next non-televised caucus meeting in February.
Some newbies to the area may wonder why this proposal is so amazing. But long-time Martin observers expressed some strong opinions on this brazen move. We'll give you a taste of what our reporters brought back on this topic.
- "That clown Martin must think the residents are as stupid as he is. All that little twerp did was rail against the previous City Administrator (Corky Brown), carping that there was no need for a City Administrator in a town as small as Villa Hills. Martin makes me sick."
- "I guess we now know that there is no bottom to how low Martin is willing to go, as long as he's spending our money. This whole thing is payback for Bohman providing that bogus statement claiming he was a poor, pitiful victim of selective traffic enforcement. Martin is pathetic."
- "I have to think Martin is just desperate to make the City look like its running better than the train wreck its been since he took office. That little sh$t could care less how much taxpayer money he has to waste to try to re-elected in November."
Martin is also proposing to waste even more taxpayer money hiring what he calls a "nuisance officer" to paper over the shortcomings of the organization he falsely claimed would solve all of Villa Hills building and zoning (non-existent) problems, the Northern Kentucky Area Planning and Zoning Commission. What did veteran residents have to say about this loopy move?
- "What a joke. Wasn't it that dumb f#%k Martin who rushed a special meeting to get his flunkies on council to approve his hiring of the planning commission some months back? Didn't that lying piece of s#!t Martin tell those idiots on council that the planning commission was the way to go? So why does he have to waste our money hiring someone else to do the work the planning commission can't or won't do? That's bold face bull s#!t. Maybe those idiots on council should have read the planning commission proposal before they voted to approve it. We need to throw 'em all out."
- "So, instead of either local or regional building and zoning services, that idiot Martin now expects us to pay for both?!?! Who else other than that moron and the other morons on council think that's a good idea?!?!?"
- "Let me get this straight. Martin wants to waste our money on a City Administrator he never thought the town needed and an unnecessary Nuisance Officer and then stick it to our kids to cover his screw-ups. How did that jack#ss ever get elected mayor?"
- "Why does Martin want the City to enforce the greed of those crooks from the Civic Club? Oh, that's right. Martin is a bigger crook than those fools are."
- "I wouldn't mind Martin picking the pockets of our children if he wasn't also wanting to waste that money on attorneys, lawsuits, City Administrators and Nuisance Officers. What the he!! is a 'Nuisance Officer' anyway. Tell me again. Exactly why did Mike Pope and Jim Noll vote to keep that little dumb f#%k in office, again? Shame on those two jerks and the jerks on the current council."
One long-time observer was right on the money. Literally.
- "Do you know who is really cleaning up on this? It's that City Attorney (Toad V.) McMurtry, that's who. Why did council ever approve Martin's plan to use our money to hire his personal attorney in the first place? Can you imagine what its cost us to write all of these terrible proposals. As far as I'm concerned, they can all go straight to he!!, do not pass "Go" and not collect their $200!"
But don't worry. Council is likely to approve all of Martin's proposals at the next untelevised caucus meeting. So what does all that mean?
The voters have 284 days (from Friday) to correct the mess they created.
