The Martin Chronicles sincerely hopes that everyone is enjoying this first day of 2015. Perhaps you have-or will-be celebrating New Years Day with a traditional "good luck" meal featuring a pork dish, sauerkraut, potatoes and onions. Doesn't that sound tasty?
We hope you are spending the first day of the new year full of optimism, whether you have to work or not. If you happen to live in the tiny town of Villa Hills, there certainly are many reasons for optimism.
The last four years of mindless mayhem and mismanagement of Villa Hills City Government have now mercifully come to an end. Villa Hills now has a new, experienced mayor. Villa Hills also has five new councilmembers-three of whom who have already established a sound track record of council service-who we sincerely hope take on their new responsibilities with a fervent desire to serve the residents to the best of their abilities. We think most of them will certainly do so.
The Martin Chronicles also hopes that the days of personal vendettas are finally gone. After four year of mindless executive punishment and mayhem, the newly-elected local government officials have a tremendous opportunity to now fix Villa Hills' embarrassingly broken City Government. We believe that is what the majority of these newly-elected officials will work hard to accomplish.
Yes, there are many "left-behind" messes for the incoming City Government to face. There are unfinished lawsuits, financial deceptions, leftover cronies and a bushel basket-full of hard feelings that the new City Government must face. But they can do it. We are pulling for them to do so. The past is exactly that.
The Martin Chronicles fervently hopes that no one continues to believe that there are still old scores to settle. Why? Because the majority of Villa Hills resident now understand the lies they have been told for the past four-plus years. The results of Election Day, 2014 speak loudly and clearly all by themselves.
Today should represent the true "fresh start" in Villa Hills.
