WEEKENDER: He Didn't Understand The Questions?

The Martin Chronicles understands that Villa Hills malfeasant Mayor Mike Martin is dumber than a broken cinder block. We also realize that the misdirecting Martin is dirtier than cartwheel grease. But, we still have to admit that we were shocked when we learned that Martin sent a message-delivered by one of the members of his good old boy goon squad-that he "didn't understand some of the questions" the Sensible Citizens group is expecting all candidates to answer at their upcoming Town Hall meetings.

We secured a copy of the readily-available questions the Sensible Citizens have proposed. They don't involve any higher math. They don't involve biology, chemistry or physics. The questions involve basic concepts that a first year political science major could easily formulate answers to. So, shouldn't someone who has served two (albeit, undistinguished) terms on city council and one dreadful term as mayor be able to understand and answer the questions. The obvious answer is "yes".  

The questions revolve around seven basic topics:

1. Long term plans for the city
2. The City Budget
3. Management of City Employees
4. Public Safety
5. Ethics
6. Roads
7. Forms of City Government

Are we telling you a mayor said they didn't understand some of these questions? Well, yes we are. Why? Because it is a fact that Martin said so.

Oh, it gets worse. We have learned that the mismanaging Martin actually layered more unnecessary legal expense on to the already outrageous, more-than FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND TAXPAYER DOLLARS the little liar has already squandered. How, by asking his personal-and now City-Attorney Toad V. McMurtry (of Gerner & Kerns) if Villa Hills could change to a mayor-commission form of City Government.

Martin alleges that his personal-and now City-Attorney Toad V. McMurtry (of Gerner & Kerns) offered the-to be polite-interesting opinion that Cities of the Fourth Class like Villa Hills cannot form a mayor-commission form of City Government. Oh, really? Is that a fact? You don't say?

Martin could have finally saved some taxpayer money by doing a simple internet search. The dictatorial doofus would have discovered that nearby Taylor Mill-a City of the Fourth Class-currently employs a mayor-commission form of City Government.

Come Monday, it will be a mere 42 days until the election.
