Just for fun, let's use the misdirecting Martin's FALSE 2010 campaign promises and pronouncements to see how he'll try to defend his FAILURE over his first-and hopefully, last-four dreadful years.
#1 - "I will repeal the UNFAIR $40 PER CAR STICKER TAX and find the money needed to adequately fund the street repair and replacement program". SOURCE: August, 2010 Community Recorder.
Well, we know that all of the non-scofflaw Villa Hills residents who renew their auto registration are still paying the UNFAIR $40 PER CAR STICKER TAX. So, Martin told a huge LIE.
Our observation? The only way the UNFAIR $40 PER CAR STICKER TAX goes away is if either City Council or the voters approve yet another UNFAIR Martin tax proposal. Martin's once-"golden moment" council has already approved Martin's proposal to INCREASE THE SNEAKY INSURANCE PREMIUM TAX BY A SHAMEFUL FIFTY PERCENT.
#2 - "I run a tight (financial) ship". SOURCE: The mendacious Martin's oft-repeated, public pronouncement during his 2010 campaign found in his LYING literature and during his subsequent mayoral administration.
So, how will Martin explain his incredible WASTE OF TAXPAYER MONEY on unnecessary overtime and-worse-yet-on his incredible WASTE OF TAXPAYER MONEY to fuel his hateful vendetta against the people he incorrectly blames for his 2007 FORGERY ARREST? A HALF MILLION DOLLARS ON LEGAL FEES?!?!?!?
#3 - " I will bring honesty and integrity to the mayor's office."
Is that why Martin received a "CONFIDENTIAL REPRIMAND" from the Villa Hills Ethics Board for his misuse of City resources and personnel, received a court room reprimand from a judge for his ILLEGAL DESTRUCTION OF CITY RECORDS, was CONVICTED ON SEVEN OF NINE COUNTS OF OFFICIAL MISCONDUCT AND NEGLECT OF DUTY and was caught in a SHAMEFUL LIE when he FALSELY CLAIMED that railroaded, former Police Chief Dan Goodenough was "taking a few days off"? What a DISHONEST LIAR.
#4 - "Safety is my first priority." Oh, this one will be rich.
Sure, compared to many other Cities, Villa Hills is a safe town. Part of the reason for that is its' "tucked-away" location. Another big part of the reason is that those who continue to serve on Martin's decimated police force are a dedicated group of professionals who will do their jobs to the best of their abilities no matter how dreadful Martin treats them.
But crime has certainly risen during Martin's "Reign of Error". That is a fact. But of course, that will be everyone else's fault. Despite Martin's chest-beating about being the "CEO".
#5 - "I will work with everyone on council."
Oh, really? You don't say? Is that a fact? Everyone has seen it. A majority of voters even tried to rescue Martin by giving the miniature mullah an entirely new council in 2012. But excepting when they helped the junior jihadist screw people like Dan Goodenough, Martin has been completely unable to work with anyone on council.
Martin's LIES will be legendary. We'll be exposing every last one of them. And that will be no small task. Why?
Because there are LIES, DAMNABLE LIES, and then-worst of all-there is MARTIN.
