The Martin Chronicles has just passed another milestone. We just welcomed our 260,000th visitor. We understand that the primary reason for those surging visits is the upcoming election in malfeasant Mayor Mike Martin's troubled Villa Hills.
Come Monday, that election will be a mere 35 days away. The Martin Chronicles hopes that a good number of voters are coming to understand that-despite the loony pronouncement made by Martin die-hards-the last four years have not been an example of Villa Hills "moving forward".
Our newer readers have to prepare themselves for the final stages of this election campaign. The misdirecting Martin is falsely telling people that he is spending less money.
Yes, Martin is lying. But, let's do something dangerous and take the little liar at his word. Let's pretend Martin is spending less money.
The Martin Chronicles has long-maintained that the issue isn't how much money is being spent. We believe-as a growing number of residents believe-that the issue is the items for which the malevolent and mismanaging Martin has been wasting taxpayer money.
No reasonable person can believe that spending more than $500,000 for lawyer and legal actions in a town the size of Villa Hills is a proper use of taxpayer money. Nor can reasonable people believe that this represents an example of Villa Hills "moving forward".
No reasonable person can believe the taxpayer money Martin has spent hiring his personal attorney to serve as the City Attorney can be justified. Nor can any reasonable person believe that this represents an example of Villa Hills "moving forward".
No reasonable person can believe that Martin signing a purchase order that put more than $23,000 of taxpayer money in his own pocket is an example of either "truth" or "integrity". Nor can reasonable people believe that this represents an example of Villa Hills "moving forward".
No reasonable person can believe that Martin's waste of more than $12,000 on a park almost no resident even knows exists is a justifiable use of taxpayer money. Nor can any reasonable person believe that this represents an example of Villa Hills "moving forward".
This is especially true when you consider Martin's decimation of the local police department, the fact that no roadwork has been done under Martin's dreadful tenure and that taxes have risen significantly since Martin took office on January 1, 2011. Bad, bad, bad.
Martin's single "accomplishment"? The tiny tyrant has virtually completed his vicious vendetta against all the fine people he incorrectly blame for his judicially-justified 2007 FORGERY ARREST. Shame on however many residents believe that taxpayer-funded atrocity is an example of Villa Hills "moving forward".
November 4 is a day of decision for the voters of Villa Hills. We hope our surging readership is a sign that the voters are doing their homework this time.
Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick.
