The Martin Chronicles can tell by its huge spike in readership that our audience is hot on the trail to uncover the identity of the individual we wrote about yesterday. Because many of our readers are very bright, we are quite convinced that they have already identified the person in question.
We now want to ask some serious questions-the answers to which could prove very costly to the taxpayers of Villa Hills.
1. In Kentucky, who has the statutory power to enter a municipality in to an agreement with another party?
2. In Kentucky, if that person with the statutory power to enter a municipality in to an agreement that approves the payment of specified sum of money to a third party signs that agreement, isn't the municipality obligated to live up to the terms of that aforementioned agreement?
3. Does the fact that the person who had the statutory power to enter a municipality in to an agreement that approves the payment of a specified sum of money to a third party was resoundingly defeated in their recent, dishonest bid for re-election somehow free the taxpayers of that municipality from the commitment that was made?
4. Does the fact that the insurance company who represents the municipality informed the governing body that it is greatly limiting its financial exposure in the settlement of the agreement because the amount of money owed to the third party was the result of cynical, "intentional acts" perpetrated by the person who had the statutory power to enter that municipality in to that agreement represent a huge financial exposure to the taxpayers of that municipality?
Yes, we know these questions require some digging to answer. But, if you are a taxpayer of Villa Hills you should want to know the answers to these questions.
Because the answers could cost you a great deal of money.
