The Martin Chronicles is sitting on an amazing story about a suspected conspiracy that could cost the taxpayers of Villa Hills a large fortune. All but about 18% of last November 4's Villa Hills voters knew something was terribly wrong with the previous mayoral administration.
The 82-plus% of voters who unceremoniously tossed out the previous mayor knew something wasn't kosher. They didn't believe even a little bit of the very rosy-and very false-story the previous mayor was telling them during last year's local election campaign.
They knew about the ridiculous legal fees that the previous mayor had cost them. These voters had finally figured out that the previous mayor was wasting dreadful sums of their money conducting a vicious vendetta against everyone the erstwhile tiny tyrant blamed for his judicially-justified 2007 forgery arrest.
But, rest assured that we have learned that the new mayor and the majority of city council are exploring ways to minimize the damage the previous mayor left behind for the taxpayers. Perhaps at least some of the monetary damage facing the taxpayers can be shared with the people who actually caused it.
Here's a hint. The Martin Chronicles is going to provide you with the recognized definition for the word malpractice:
"The breach by a member of a profession of either a standard of care or a standard of conduct."
"Malpractice refers to negligence or misconduct by a professional person, such as a lawyer. The failure to meet a standard of care or standard of conduct that is recognized by a profession reaches the level of malpractice when a client is injured or damaged because of error."
(The Martin Chronicles continues with the recognized definition)
"A lawyer has the duty, in all dealings and relations with a client, to act with honesty, good faith, fairness, integrity, and fidelity. A lawyer must possess the legal skill and knowledge that is ordinarily possessed by members of the profession."
That is more than enough for now.
