The Martin Chronicles is still trying to process Villa Hills malfeasant Mayor Mike Martin's strange defense for removing a highly trained CPA from his finance committee and replacing her with a teenaged boy. Martin claims he made a great move because the teenaged boy brings "fresh ideas" and "asks lots of questions". Of that we have little doubt.
Martin removed the CPA some time ago. Adding insult to injury, Martin said the CPA's work was "unacceptable". We aren't sure how Martin made this determination. Others say Martin simply did not like all of the questions the CPA was asking him about the "unusual" state of the city's financial records.
Look, we have nothing against teenaged boys getting involved. In fact, we think civic mindedness is always a good thing. But, we are talking about the taxpayers' money. Given the mess, shouldn't you have as many eyes as possible reviewing the numbers?
As far as we can determine, there is no limit to the number of people who can serve on Martin's finance committee. Wouldn't it have made more sense to keep the CPA and add the teenaged boy?
Election Day can't get here soon enough.
