The Martin Chronicles first wants to thank all Americans who have served our country on this 2014 Veterans' Day. If you know a veteran or see a current member of any branch of the armed forces, please thank them for their service to our country.
We are also well aware that the election in now-outgoing malfeasant Mayor Mike Martin's Villa Hills is over. But Martin's Reign of Error is not. Martin still has 50 days in office.
Even when Martin thankfully packs up and goes, the problems he created will still be there. Many of those problems Martin created are very serious. The solutions to all of the problems Martin created could very well cost the taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars.
That is why we are amused by a handful of social networkers-mostly embarrassed Martin supporters-who want everyone to "move on" (where have we heard that before?). These social networkers are also intentionally trying to confuse the "truth" about lasting damage Martin has done to Villa Hills' city government with "negativity". As our perky intern describes that bit of pathetic spin, "epic fail".
Sure, we expect Mayor-elect Callery and the newly elected city council to do a good job. Everyone should root for their success. Everyone should also realize that they face the huge task of cleaning up the colossal disaster Martin has left behind for them. In fact, the residents need to understand the true extent of the harm Martin has caused.
Why? Because of the potential, huge price tag attached to fixing things. Residents need to clearly see exactly who is responsible for the costly fixes. The expense won't be the fault of Mayor-elect Callery or the new city council. They shouldn't be blamed.
Martin is the one responsible.
