Irvin Callery has obviously begun to campaign for the mayor's office. He is the first mayoral candidate to begin to place yard signs. So what if they are signs recycled from his Covington campaigns? A yard sign is a yard sign. At least the former Covington mayor and relative newcomer to Villa Hills is campaigning.
We are also hearing that current miscreant Mayor Mike Martin is running in to-to be polite-"strong headwinds" as he hits the campaign trail. Many of the mostly-inattentive folks who thought, "Aw, let's give the little guy a chance" in 2010 have finally come to understand that Martin is completely incapable of telling the truth.
Given the mess the tiny tyrant has made of his first four years, even if the mendacious Martin could tell the truth, the facts don't allow him to:
- A "confidential" REPRIMAND from the Villa Hills Ethics Board for misuse of City personnel and resources?
- Four appellate judges tossing out Martin's $1.505 million lawsuit against the taxpayers, opining that Martin was arrested in late 2007 for devious activities that "FIT THE VERY DEFINITION OF FORGERY"?
- Squandering more than $500,000 on lawyers and legal fees?
- Martin breaking his 2010 "solemn promise" to repeal the UNFAIR $40 PER CAR STICKER TAX?
- Convictions on SEVEN OF NINE COUNTS OF OFFICIAL MISCONDUCT AND NEGLECT OF DUTY?
- The diminutive dictator's hiring of his personal attorney Toad V. McMurtry (of Gerner & Kerns) to serve as the TAXPAYER-FUNDED City Attorney?
- The mismanaging mayor increasing every resident's SNEAKY INSURANCE PREMIUM TAX BY FIFTY PERCENT?
- Martin LYING to Villa Hills residents, falsely telling them that "Chief Goodenough is just taking a few days of" when he and Toad V. McMurtry (of Gerner & Kerns) had already told the now-former chief that they were preparing a costly public spectacle designed to unfairly embarrass the long-serving police officer?
Speaking of former Police Chief Goodenough, he provided a huge boost to the mayoral campaign of favored Ernie Brown this week. Goodenough spent some time at the local convenient store-sporting an "Ernie Brown for Mayor" tee shirt-meeting and greeting dozens of Villa Hills resident. Most of these residents understand the absolutely unfair and terrible treatment Goodenough received at the hands of the malevolent Martin and Toad V. McMurtry (of Gerner & Kerns).
Mayoral candidate Holly B. Menninger-Isenhour could not be reached for comment regarding questions about her allged interesting "gifts" to certain handymen.
Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick.
