The Martin Chronicles has been pouring over the upcoming race for control of malfeasant Mayor Mike Martin's Villa Hills City Government. There are an unprecedented three challengers to the mismanaging Martin and nine candidates for seats on the city council.
The past four years have taught us that if the mendacious Martin is re-elected it matters not who wins seats on the council. Martin has had the rare opportunity to work with two entirely different six-member sets of council people and has proven he is unable to work with anyone.
The miniature madman is consumed with the thought that he is the "CEO". All decisions are "his" and his alone. If you don't agree with Martin's decisions, your only recourse is to "deal with it". Why? Because the diminutive dictator is "moving on". You had better disabuse yourself of the incorrect notion that further tinkering with the make-up of the council will finally make the city's lot better.
What about the council race itself. It looks like a tug-of-war between people who want to take a serious-minded approach to city government (as they have in the past) and a group of mean-spirited amateurs who are convinced they know better than everyone else (even when the facts persistently prove otherwise).
These mean-spirited amateurs where at the epicenter of the destruction of the local police department. They will be backed by the online haters who constantly throw terrible misinformation on to the social networks-thinking it makes them some how sound "in-the-know".
The derisive-and incorrect-term "good old boys" is about to resurface in an ugly way. The implication? That the so-called "good old boys" gained some mysterious-and improper-benefit from their previous time serving on council.
But our investigations tell us that it is Martin who signed a purchase order that placed TWENTY-THREE THOUSAND TAXPAYER DOLLARS in his own pocket and Mary Koenig who steered TWELVE THOUSAND TAXPAYER DOLLARS in to a little-used park that provides the side benefit of improving her own back yard. That seems like the behavior of "good old boys" to us.
More to come.
