The Martin Chronicles has learned that the Sensible Citizens group is going to host two town meetings in Villa Madonna Academy's theater. Why? In order to allow residents to see Villa Hills city council and mayoral candidates lay out their plans to restore some semblance of dignity, honesty, integrity and competency to City Government. We applaud the Sensible Citizens group for this important effort.
As we understand it, the ten candidates vying for a seat on the city council will go first, on Tuesday, October 14. That town hall meeting is scheduled to begin at 7PM. The order of the council candidate presentations will be set by a random drawing.
Then-again, as we understand it-the four mayoral candidates will have their opportunity to lay out their vision for the future of Villa Hills on Thursday, October 16. This town hall meeting will also begin at 7PM and the order of the mayoral candidate presentations will also be set by a random drawing.
The Martin Chronicles believes the Sensible Citizens group deserves a great deal of credit for their efforts. They have had to endure the social networking haters' unfair assaults on their validity. Martin and his good old boy goon squad have made an underhanded effort to question the group's motives. But they continue to do what's right.
In just a little more than a mere 49 days, the voters of Villa Hills have some important votes to cast. We certainly hope that a good number of them have finally realized how important their local government truly is to their day-to-day lives.
We won't know that for sure until they begin counting the ballots on November 4.
