The Martin Chronicles has informants and reporters covering the Kenton County Courthouse like the proverbial blanket. We are waiting to see all of the names who will fill out the field as the 2014 race for the mayor's office and city council seats in malfeasant Mayor Mike Martin's Villa Hills is just about to begin in earnest. 83 days and counting down to VVH (Victory in Villa Hills) Day
No reasonable person can honestly say that the last four years has been even remotely good for Villa Hills. Don't take our word for it. Just read the dinosaur media's news archives. There has been virtually nothing but embarrassment, followed by embarrassment, followed by embarrassment, followed by embarrassment followed by even more embarrassment.
What has been the common thread through the endless embarrassment? Well, that would be the mismanaging Martin. Hoping for some break in the humiliation, the voters surrounded the miscreant Martin with an entirely new city council. But the six new council members have had no better luck dealing with the diminutive dictator than the previous six council members had. Why? Because the misdirecting Martin is an incredibly dishonest prick.
The mallet-headed Martin currently has two opponents who would be vastly better than he has been these past four years. Let's just look at two reasons why. First, both of his current opponents are completely capable of telling the truth. Second, both have successfully managed other organizations.
There is a very hot rumor circulating around Villa Hills that a fourth mayoral candidate will file her papers today. The bad news? Her entry creates the possibility that the misdirecting Martin could be re-elected with just 26% of the vote. The good news? As woefully inadequate as this rumored fourth candidate is, even she would be a better mayor than Martin. Hell, almost anybody would do a better job than Martin has these past four dreadful years.
Sources in the know also tell us that as many as three of the incumbent councilmembers do not intend to seek re-election. Why? Well, we are told that these three councilmembers are completely frustrated because it is impossible to work with the abjectly unprofessional Martin. We are also told that these three incumbents are tired of the incessant threats they receive from Martin's personal-and now City-Attorney Toad V. McMurtry.
Today is a very important day for the Villa Hills. The voters need a very full slate of candidates from which to choose. Some of them are bound to be good choices. It is our sincere hope that the voters will take some amount of time this go-around to research each candidate. They should not take the meaningless "word" of what some civic club ass clown tells them. There is too much at stake.
The Martin Chronicles will have a full report on the complete slate of candidates.
