Many
taxpayers probably wonder why Martin’s personal-and
now City-Attorney Toad V. McMurtry (of the real estate law firm of Gerner
and Kearns) would be wasting so much time-and
taxpayer money-on a personal
witch hunt. As far as everyone knew, the hearing was about Martin’s bogus
charges against Dan Goodenough. Maybe Toad V. McMurtry didn’t get the memo.
Oh, wait a minute. That's right. Profligate waste of taxpayer-money on lawyers and legal actions has been a hallmark of Martin's Reign of Error. So, of course we know why Martin's personal-and now City-Attorney (of the real estate law firm of Gerner and Kearns) was frittering away on so much "billable time" serving as the grand inquisitor about the pesky little blog that dares to regularly report on Martin's rampant corruption and mismanagement.
We know
people like Martin and McMurtry often rely on what is generally referred to as the
“chilling effect”. These two-and their
cronies-like to intimidate their perceived enemies with thinly-and not-so-thinly-veiled threats of
lawsuits and job loss from their seats of power in order to frighten them in to silence. Is that an example of "doing great things for people". Hmmmm.
We get it. Most of us have been reporting on corruption and mismanagement for many, many years now.
Strong-arming mobsters like Martin and McMurtry are nothing new. But our record-breaking readership
numbers did reach new heights today.
Thank you Toad V. McMurtry!
