Things People Are Pondering

The Martin Chronicles reporting staff obviously spends much more time listening to the opinions and questions of the many residents of malfeasant Mayor Mike Martin's Villa Hills than the tiny tyrant and his cronies do. We also hear the observations made by people from outside Martin's troubled town. 

It is a generally accepted fact that Martin and his cronies receive most of their feeble feedback from the venal supporters who gravitate at places like the civic club and from like-minded, below-the-belters including the bilious blowhard Kenton County Judge Executive Steve Arlinghaus. We certainly hope Martin and his cronies stay in their odd echo chamber, hearing nothing more than "at-a-boys" for their atrocious behavior.

Many "everyday people" are wondering what suddenly caused Martin to change his views on what he has always FALSELY described as "double-dipping". Why? Because Martin and his City Clerk-and now TAXPAYER-FUNDED City Administrator-Craig T, Bohman are proposing the appointment of one of the Public Works employees to also serve as the "nuisance officer".

What's up with that? Shouldn't Public Works be busy fixing the City's decaying streets? It's obvious that Martin was LYING in 2010 when he told many residents that he could repeal the UNFAIR $40 PER CAR STICKER TAX and find the money required to repair streets out of the City's existing budget,

First of all, every non-scofflaw resident is still paying the UNFAIR $40 PER CAR STICKER TAX. Worse yet, virtually no real road repair and replacement has been done since Martin plopped his but in the mayor's office on January 1, 2011. This is a complete disgrace.

Many "everyday people" are also wondering what happened to Martin's FALSE 2010 campaign claim that safety is his "first priority"? Why? Because it has become abundantly clear to many, many residents that Martin has strangely spent most of his time DISMANTLING the Villa Hills Police Department.

Martin has intentionally kept the local department under-staffed since he took office. And, Martin has spent a great deal of taxpayer money to DEFAME the previous police department leadership.

So, if the rumors of Kenton County Sheriff's officers napping in their cruisers is true, how safe are the residents? Martin's handling of this issue has been a complete disgrace.

A growing number of citizens are also wondering about Martin's FALSE promise to bring greater "transparency" to City Government. Where is this supposed transparency?

Martin, Mary Koenig and their willing accomplices are intentionally hiding the true cost of Martin's vendetta-driven obsession with wasting TAXPAYER money on lawyers and legal actions. Koenig is "on the record" saying that "the residents don't need to know that" Huh?. Really? You don't say? Is that a fact?

Then there is the City's crappy website. Most residents have come to the realization that the crappy website has devolved in to nothing more that a piece of propaganda promoting Martin and his wrong-headed agenda. Bad, bad, bad. 

A growing number of residents are also questioning Martin's BOGUS claim that he was somehow going to bring some already-in place "honesty and integrity" to the mayor's office. Who was he kidding? Oh, yeah. He was kidding the razor thin majority who put his undeserving hind end in to that aforementioned mayor's office.

After all, isn't it Martin who:

• Received a "confidential reprimand" from the Villa Hills Ethics Board for his MISUSE of City personnel and resources?
• Was proven to have committed FORGERY by four respected appellate judges?
• Was dressed down by a judge for his ILLEGAL DESTRUCTION of City records?
• Was CONVICTED ON SEVEN OF NINE CHARGES OF OFFICIAL MISCONDUCT AND NEGLECT OF DUTY?
• Was caught in the LIE that things would get better if he was surrounded by a new council in 2012?
• That hired his own personal attorney to serve as the City Attorney?
• That was caught in the LIE that former Police Chief Dan Goodenough was just taking a few days off?

People are wondering about the DISENGENUOUS statement Martin made when questioned about his now-known-to-be-true charge about his misplaced vendetta against former Police Chief Dan Goodenough and former Assistant Police Chief Joe Schutzman at the 2010 civic club hillbilly hoedown  "candidate forum"., When challenged about that now-known-to-be-true-vendetta, Martin FALSELY denied it and said that they all just needed to "work together". What has happened since clearly proves that Martin was LYING. 

Martin's intentional destruction of the Villa Hills Police Department is now an obvious fact. Voters finally surrounded Martin with pinheads like Brian Wischer, Holly B. Menninger Isenhour and the always-around-when-a-police-chief-is-terminated lMary Koenig. That disgrace is shared.

Many, many townsfolk are asking why Martin believes he can trample over their First Amendment rights. Martin signed an Executive Order granting him unprecedented power to arrest "dissidents", after all.

Will these dissidents reply on November 4?
