There is little doubt that Martin has been honing his asinine attacks against Callery with the asshats at the Villa Hills Civic Club. While those dunces most likely lapped-up the miniature Mussolini's lies, reasonable, intelligent people seem to be appalled.
Let's examine just a few of Martin's mean-spirited attacks against Irvin Callery and post our own observations:
Martin: "Callery is just a Covington carpet-bagger who has only lived in Villa Hills for about three years."
The Martin Chronicles: That is only partly true. But keep in mind that Covington is much closer to Villa Hills than Martin's own hometown of Norwood. We also think the term carpet-bagger is very unfair. Hey, at least Callery isn't some flim-flam man operating an unlicensed handyman business preying on unsuspecting residents in Northern Kentucky.
Martin: "Callery was asleep at the switch as former Finance Director Bob Due embezzled hundreds of thousands of dollars out of Covington's treasury."
The Martin Chronicles: Again, that is partly true. But the misdirecting Martin was absolutely wide awake when he hired his close friend Cordelia Schaber-and continues to pay her the disgraceful taxpayer-funded sum of $47.50 per hour-to totally foul-up Villa Hills' financial records.
Martin: "Now I can't be sure, but how do you know Callery didn't somehow benefit from Bob Due's embezzlement?"
The Martin Chronicles: Well, here's how we know didn't benefit from Bob Due's embezzlement. If Democrat Covington Mayor Irvin Callery was in any way involved in that embezzlement, the Republican-controlled County Prosecutors would have made damn sure that he ended up in prison.
Here are just a very few things we do know about Villa Hills' malfeasant Mayor Mike Martin:
- Four respected judges officially opined in writing that Martin's 2007 forgery arrest was completely justified because his actions "fit the very definition of forgery".
- Martin received a confidential reprimand from the Villa Hills Ethics Board for his misuse of City personnel and resources.
- Martin was severely chastised by a respected judge for his ILLEGAL destruction of City records.
- Martin allowed his wife Janet to work on the failed State Senate campaign of then-Councilmember Jim Noll, even while Noll was tasked with deciding whether or not Martin should be removed from office in October, 2012.
- Martin was convicted on seven of nine counts of OFFICIAL MISCONDUCT AND NEGLECT OF DUTY.
- Martin signed an Executive Order that gave him the POWER TO ARREST ANYONE WHO DISAGREED WITH HIM AT PUBLIC MEETINGS.
- Martin broke a tie vote which led to the hiring of his personal attorney Toad V. McMurtry to serve as the taxpayer-funded Villa Hills City Attorney. More than a half-million dollars wasted on lawyers and legal actions? Really?
- Martin signed a City Purchase Order that put more than $23,000 in his own pocket.
- Martin's long-kept-secret-by-incessant-lying, radical plan to disband the Villa Hills Police Department was accidentally revealed by the tiny tyrant's slip of the tongue in 2013.
- Martin not only broke his solemn vow to repeal the UNFAIR $40 PER CAR STICKER TAX, he also convinced his formerly "golden moment" city council to RAISE YOUR SNEAKY INSURANCE PREMIUM TAX BY FIFTY PER CENT FOR ROAD WORK THAT HAS NEVER, EVER BEEN DONE.
- Martin has squandered more than FIFTEEN THOUSAND TAXPAYER DOLLARS ON A PARK ALMOST NO ONE USES as a "political favor" to current Councilmembers Mary Koenig, Brian Wischer and Holly B. Menninger-Isenhour.
- Martin LIED TO EVERYONE when he FALSELY told the media that former Police Chief Dan Goodenough was "taking a few days off" after Martin and City Attorney Toad V. McMurtry had already delivered an ultimatum to Goodenough to either resign or be publically humiliated and then fired.
- Martin allowed MORE THAN SIX THOUSAND TAXPAYER DOLLARS to be paid to the Lexington-based law firm that is responsible for handling his personal liability in several lawsuits the miniature mullah generated by his reckless behavior.
We'll know what happens in just 61 days.
