The Martin Chronicles has been talking with several well-placed sources who tell us that legal fees in Villa Hills will soon be on the rise again. To a person, these sources tell us that Villa Hills malfeasant Mayor Mike Martin's June council meeting assertion that "legal fees will be coming down" was-to be nice-grossly inaccurate. As one source put it so well, "What Martin said was either complete deception or complete delusion".
If Martin is trying to deceive the public, it is another example of where the tiny tyrant tells a lie simply to survive the moment. "The moment"-in this particular case-is his re-election bid that will be decided in a mere 97 days. If the diminutive dictator can hold his finger in the dyke holding back a torrent of legal fees until then, he can simply shrug his stooped shoulders and say, "I didn't know that then. But I know that now". Then the miniature mullah will proceed to blame everybody but himself for the explosion of waste on legal fees. He-he-he-he-he.
It doesn't take a highly-skilled cartographer to understand the legal "lay of the land" in Martinville. Let's take a simple inventory. There are still several unresolved-and serious-lawsuits outstanding from the mindless Martin's vendetta against the Villa Hills Police Department. Despite Martin's failed efforts to have the taxpayers pick up the full tab for his personal liability, these lawsuits continue. Oh, and the legal meter on these unresolved lawsuits continues to run and run and run and run and run and run and run.
Despite the continual lies Martin is telling his feeble friends at the civic club, the taxpayer money the pint-sized Perón has spent on lawyers and legal fees is speeding towards seven figures with no end in sight. The sane members of Villa Hills' voting public should be sounding every alarm bell they can about this abject waste of taxpayer money.
How about a little historical perspective? Martin's first-and hopefully only-mayoral term will end in the fifty-second year of Villa Hills' history. At that point, Martin will have spent more money on lawyers and legal actions in his four years in office than all of the previous administrations spent over the previous forty-eight years combined.
All of this taxpayer money has been squandered simply because Martin was hell-bent on exacting revenge for his judicially-justified 2007 FORGERY ARREST. That is a complete disgrace.
The mallet-headed Martin's so-called "tight ship" is sinking in a sea of red ink.
