Following is just a very small sampling from our readers:
..."I've lived in this area for decades and I still can't figure it out. What is it about a town of supposedly smart people who allow something like this to happen? It hasn't just happened once. This is the second time in a little more than ten years where a mayor fired the police chief for what seems to be no good reason. Except to find someone to blame for all of their problems. It's the old saying, 'Fool us once, shame on you. Fool us twice, shame on us.' We've done this to ourselves again."...
..."Martin LAWBREAKER!!!"...
-and-
..."Martin is a jackass."...
-and-
..."Martin is an idiot."...
-and-
..."Martin is a pathological liar."...
-and-
..."Martin is a damned fool."...
-and-
..."Martin is a piece of (EXPLETIVE)!"...
-and-
..."Martin SUCKS!"...
-and-
..."Martin is a crook!"...
-you get this picture-
..."Am I the only one who knew the election of a guy who was suing Goodenough, Schutzman and us was only going to spell trouble? I can't be, can I? Am I the only one who isn't surprised by this? Schutzman forced out? Goodenough about to be fired? It wasn't hard to see this coming."...
..."To hell with the current council agreeing to hire Martin's personal attorney to now rip us all off as the City Attorney. Who even thinks about thinking about, thinking about, thinking about, thinking about, thinking about, thinking about doing that. They all need to go."...
..."Did you see Martin when he was being questioned Monday night? It was like the chair he was sitting on was on fire. He was really on the hot seat, I guess. Does he even know when he's telling a lie?"...
-or-
..."I think Martin needs to go to a proctologist right away. Did you see him squirming around so uncomfortably in that witness chair Monday night. He either has a raging case of hemorrhoids or he was lying through his teeth."...
-or-
..."It looked like Martin was getting zapped by electric shocks when he was being questioned by Goodie's (Goodenough's) lawyer. My guess? Martin wired the chair so that his attorney could send him the answers and his crummy electrical work kept short circuiting or the little (EXPLETIVE) was LYING (e-mailer's caps)!!!"......"I hope everyone remembers who's responsible for this. Martin. Martin's buddies on that (EXPLETIVE) council. Martin's lawyer and clerk. Martin's pals at the civic club. Mike Pope and Jim Noll for refusing to toss out Martin when they had the chance. Top of the list? That's easy. It's everyone who sat back, didn't do a (EXPLETIVE) thing and let Martin get elected in the first (EXPLETIVE) place. (EXPLETIVE) (EXPLETIVE) (EXPLETIVE)!"...
..."Martin is claiming that the mayor's job is just so hard. He's crying that he only gets paid $200 a month to do it. That's why he didn't spend enough time making sure that all of these things he says everyone else did wrong were stopped. He asked for the job. He should either do that job or walk away. No, he should just walk away because its clear he's not cut out for the job."...
... "Am I the only one who thinks that Martin' City Clerk looks just like actor Steve Buscemi? What the (EXPLETIVE)? Why not? Bohman was clearly acting too. He was acting like he had some shocking revelations about Chief Dan. But it was all a total sham. That (EXPLETIVE) Martin is the real crook. Buscemi usually portrays pandering psychos in the movies. But Bohman wasn't acting. This is exactly who that (EXPLETIVE) really is."...
-or-
..."Don't you think Martin's City Attorney looks just like the arch-Villain from the SUPERMAN comics LEX LUTHOR? I thing this guy is the one really calling the shots currently."...
-or-
...Why did Martin and his buddies on council think that it was a great idea to hire Doctor Evil to serve as the City Attorney? What the (EXPLETIVE) were they thinking?"...
..."I've been hearing some people say that we need to change our city's form of government. Here's a novel thought. Why not just pay more attention and elect good people to the current form of government? Then this stupid (EXPLETIVE) won't happen."......"I hate to be the one who breaks the bad news. But this thing is a done deal. I sat in that meeting Monday night and watched Holly put her head back on her chair and close her eyes. They've already made up their mind to fire Danny. This is just a show so Martin can run his own removal hearing. It's payback. That's all it is."...
...Did you hear Martin admit under oath that he never once talked to Dan about all of his so-called concerns about the money that is being wasted on overtime? What the (EXPLETIVE)? We now also know that he never talked to Schutzman about any of his concerns about the cost of building and zoning stuff. At least until that little (EXPLETIVE) fired Joe. What the (EXPLETIVE)? This guy Martin is an idiot and a liar!"...
-And our personal favorite-
Everyone still has to wait 229 days to fix Martin's mess.
