WEEKENDER: The Campaign Lies Begin To Take Shape

The Martin Chronicles has been hearing from sources around town that Villa Hills malfeasant Mayor Mike Martin is beginning to test market the many LIES he intends to tell as he campaigns for reelection this year. Despite the fact that the corrupt and incompetent Martin has brought terrible embarrassment to the once-proud town, his LIES could work. Martin is a remarkably skilled LIAR after all.

Here is a sampling of what we're told Martin is saying and our response:

• "I don't know why people call Toad V. McMurtry my personal attorney. That isn't fair."

(So, who was that bald fellow who was representing you during your October, 2012 removal hearing? It sure looked like Toad V. McMurtry.)

• "I run a real tight ship. Why, some people say I'm a cheapskate."

(Sure you do, Martin. Except when it comes to wasting hundreds of thousands of dollars on unnecessary overtime for an intentionally-understaffed police department and more hundreds of thousands of dollars on your lawyers and lawsuits. You're not a cheapskate. You're a cheap thug.)

• "Things have gotten much better since the voters gave me a new council to work with."

(Is that why some of the new council members are publicly saying that you and your personal-and now City-Attorney Toad V. McMurtry often threaten them?)

• "I inherited a real mess."

(No. The fact is that you have created the real mess all by your corrupt and incompetent self.)

• "Chief Goodenough is just taking a few days off." A TRUE CLASSIC.

(Is Chief Goodenough back to work yet?)

• "I had to force Dan Goodenough out of his job. He was making $100,000 a year!"

(First of all, no he was not making $100,000 a year. We checked. But, just for kicks, let's say he was. Who in the hell has been in charge for the past three and-a-half years? Oh, right. That would be you.)

• "I had to force Joe Schutzman out of his job. He was doing building inspection work while he was on duty as a police officer."

(Well, we can't find any evidence of that wild Martin claim either. But, let's say its true. Who signed Schutzman to a contract? And again, who has been in charge for the past three and-a-half years? You guessed it Martin. It was you.)

Martin's well-documented DECEIT is becoming the stuff of legend. The legend is sure to grow by leaps and bounds this year. When it comes to Martin's LIES -

Little man, you've had a busy three and-a-half years.
