BREAKING NEWS: When It Rains, It Pours

The Martin Chronicles has learned that malfeasant Mayor Mike Martin is being dishonest with the residents of Villa Hills yet again. We know that comes as no surprise to most of you. But, you need to know when Martin plays fast and loose with facts potentially involving your safety.

Martin recently announced in a public setting that he has plenty of salt on order for the winter. We suppose that comment could be downgraded from a flat-out lie to a brazen half-truth. Either way you slice it, his comment was not a full and accurate description of the facts.

We'll explain Martin's deception. We don't doubt that the salt was ordered. But Martin left out the most important part. You see, Morton Salt cannot fill the order. We have obtained a letter from Morton Salt explaining that fact.

Morton Salt is dealing with a shortage of salt for road treatment. They also have binding contracts with other cities that must be honored first. So, Villa Hills' salt order will not be filled.

This is no small deal. We believe Martin's dishonest comment was designed to falsely portray himself as a competent leader who loves his constituents. Martin desperately wants to get past Election Day. Martin thinks he only needs to keep fooling the voters for about two more weeks.

The voters need to give Martin a heavy dose of TRUTH on November 4.
