WEEKENDER: Oh, We're Still Here

The Martin Chronicles is truly humbled by the many phone calls, texts and emails we have received over these past ten days asking when our next post is coming. We've come to realize that many, many people consider us the very best source for local reportage in Northern Kentucky. Despite the fact that the tiny tyrant of Villa Hills-whose Reign of Error ran roughshod over the taxpayers' treasury from January 1, 2011 until the stroke of midnight on December 31, 2014-has been resoundingly defeated, we still have a great deal of work to do.

We can tell you this. We are currently working on a major story about a colossal problem the now-deposed diminutive dictator callously left behind when he exited the Mayor's Office for the final time. Several deep cover sources are telling us that several of the lies the little fella who was in the Mayor's Office told are going to have far reaching-and very costly-implications for the taxpayers of the City he abjectly mismanaged until recently. The story is currently embargoed at the request of some very decent people who will be directly impacted by the outcome. But, this shocking story will come out.

We also want you to consider something. Why is it that one of the very few remaining members of the former mayor's "goon squad" (who should be fired) had to travel to the Kenton County Courthouse to retrieve important documents required to fill an Open Records request? These requested documents were issued from the former Villa Hills Mayor's Office, after all.

So, where are the City of Villa Hills' copies of those requested records? Shouldn't the "Custodian of Records" (read: City Clerk) already have copies of those records available at the Villa Hills City Building? That is exactly what the law requires. Why did the "Custodian of Records" (read: City Clerk) have to travel to the Kenton County Courthouse to retrieve copies?

It doesn't make any sense. None at all. That is, unless you know the horrible history of the miniscule man who only managed to get 18% of the vote in last November's Villa Hills mayoral race. Long-time readers of The Martin Chronicles are very well aware that the fractional former mayor left a licentious legacy of illegal document destruction that continued well after a respected judge ordered him to stop it in 2012. Does that explain the trip to the courthouse? Perhaps it does.

Villa Hills residents need to completely understand that the City's taxpayer-funded insurance will not cover the great, looming expense of their former mayor's misdeeds. Especially when it involves intentional acts by their former mayor and his goon squad. All these residents really need to do is get on the internet to research the terrible cost of the intentional acts of the former mayor of Park Hills to get an understanding of the serious finacial hit they very well might be facing very soon.

It may come as some small consolation to the residents of Villa Hills that their former mayor and members of his former goon squad are probably also facing dire finacial consequences for their misdeeds and possible conspiracy. We can only hope that they too pay a very heavy price for their dishonesty and their inexplicable vendetta.

Exactly who was that vapid nitwit who infamously took to a podium to proclaim that this (now former) mayor does great things for people?
