The Martin Chronicles knows our many friends and even those who think we are vile and disgusting want to know our take on Villa Hills being rated the best suburb in the Tri-State by Cincy Business magazine. That's easy. We all think it's quite an honor.
We can also see this honor rapidly becoming a political issue. That's too bad. Both Villa Hills malfeasant Mayor Mike Martin's Kool-Aid drinkers and the growing number of residents who realize that Martin's glaring corruption and incompetence have been a disaster for the City have taken to the social networks to spin the Cincy Business recognition.
They are missing the point made by Cincy Business magazine. Martin has nothing to do with the fact that Villa Hills is indeed a beautiful, bedroom community. Martin has nothing to do with the fact that Villa Hills is conveniently located near CVG and downtown Cincinnati. Both of those high points have been hallmarks of the town since it was founded in 1962.
Also, while Villa Hills crime rate is lower than several other Tri-State communities, the town's crime rate has grown dramatically since Martin's abuse of the local police department began in January, 2011. That is a fact as well.
Heck, The Martin Chronicles would never have taken on our assignment if we didn't realize that Villa Hills is a fine town that's being ruined by the lunatic Martin. Most of the residents are great people who work hard. There is a lot to like about Villa Hills.
The residents should simply enjoy the recognition. It is neither an affirmation nor a condemnation of the mismanaging and corrupt Martin.
But the recognition should serve as a clarion call that a first class City deserves a City government that is far better than the one the mallet-headed Martin has been misrepresenting and mismanaging over these past nearly four years.

Weekender II: Putting A Rumor To Rest
The Martin Chronicles is receiving an inordinate amount of emails and phone calls on this absolutely beautiful Saturday afternoon in the embarrassed burg of Villa Hills. We expected the long Memorial Day Weekend to be relatively quiet, allowing us the opportunity to chase down some major costly-to-the-taxpayers scandals that are about to break. But that hasn't been the case.
So what's been happening? Well, scores of people have been contacting us to learn why a large backhoe is parked along Amsterdam Road. Residents are concerned that their mallet-headed Mayor Mike Martin is using the backhoe to destroy something.
Why? Because many people remember how the lunatic Martin used the bucket of the City's backhoe to crush open the late, great City safe? Oh, yeah. Why ask someone for the safe's combination or pay a few dollars to a trained locksmith to open the safe when you can simply crush it open with a backhoe? Maybe because that's an absolutely crazy idea?
So, anyway, people are concerned that perhaps someone locked themselves out of their house or car. They worry that this "someone" called the City for assistance and the meat-headed Martin brought the backhoe over to crush his way into that "someone's" home or car.
No worries. The Martin Chronicles has learned that the backhoe is being used by the Northern Kentucky Water District to do waterline repairs on Kenridge.
But is Martin wahoo-crazy enough to use a backhoe to crash through a locked home or car door? Well, he told the media that he was "comfortable" with his deranged decision to crush open the City safe several months ago.
So, the answer is "YES"!!!

WEEKENDER III: A Not-So-Pleasant Valley Sunday
The Martin Chronicles beloved publisher and staff hopes (almost) everyone in our ever-growing audience is enjoying this Memorial Day Weekend, 2014. We also ask you to be sure to take some time to remember all of the members of the military and police and fire personnel who have given what Abraham Lincoln once described as "the last full measure of devotion" to keep all of us safe and secure in the greatest nation that has ever existed on the face of God's wondrous planet Earth.
Sure, there is turmoil and uncertainty all over the globe, including in this amazing country of ours. But if Americans have proven anything to the rest of the world over the past two hundred and thirty-eight years, it is that almost any wrong can eventually be righted.
And so it is in the embarrassed City of Villa Hills, Kentucky, nestled along the rolling banks of the powerful Ohio River. A diminutive dictator named Mike Martin crawled up from the sewers of Norwood, Ohio and LIED his way in to the leadership position of that once-proud town in the fall of 2010. What has followed over the next nearly four, long, miserable years has been a total disgrace. But we are nowhere near the final chapter for this embattled burg.
Why? Because the founders of this great nation struggled mightily to create a system of government that allowed for the opportunity of self-correction. Not by bullets, but by ballots. And those next set of ballots will be cast on November 4, 2014. That is only 162 days away.
Thanks to America's founders, the voters of Villa Hills will have the opportunity to decide if Martin has earned the right to serve for another four years:

Thanks to America's founders, the voters of Villa Hills will have the opportunity to decide if Martin has earned the right to serve for another four years:
- Will the voters simply keep their doors barricaded and ignore the HUGE SPIKE IN CRIME that has been created by Martin's relentless vendetta against the Villa Hills Police Department? Or, will they hold their malicious mayor accountable for the incessant vendetta he has waged at THEIR GREAT EXPENSE OVER HIS 2007 FORGERY ARREST?
- Will the voters hold their collective noses and ignore Martin's non-stop LIES? Or, will they hold the tiny tyrant accountable for those LIES?
- Will the voters ignore the worries about their shrinking wallets and ignore Martin's MULTIPLE TAX INCREASES? Or, will they hold the diminutive dictator accountable for his OUTRAGEOUS, TAXPAYER-FUNDED RIP-OFFS?
- Will the voters ignore the fact that Martin's incessant 2012 whining that he just needed a new City Council who was willing to work with him was nothing more than a SELF-SERVING CAMPAIGN LIE? Or, will they toss out self-serving nitwits like the crook Martin, the vile, ancient crocodile Mary Koenig, the dimbulb Holly B. Menninger-Isenhour and Flyin' Brian Wischer on their asses on November 4?
- Will the voters choose to ignore Martin using TAXPAYER MONEY to disgracefully hire unqualified people and cronies like BUCKET-HEADED $47.50 PER HOUR BOOK-KEEPER Cordelia Schaber, disqualified people like the miniature mullah's personal-and now City-Attorney Toad V. McMurtry and pandering butt-lickers like the ne'er-do-well "Craigory"? Or, will they decide to toss this entire motley crew out on their asses on November 4?
- Will the voters turn a blind eye to the fact that Martin was convicted on SEVEN OF NINE COUNTS OF OFFICIAL MISCONDUCT, received a dressing-down from a respected judge for HIS ILLEGAL DESTRUCTION OF CITY RECORDS and got hammered with a CONFIDENTIAL REPRIMAND FROM THE VILLA HILLS ETHICS BOARD FOR HIS MISUSE OF CITY PERSONNEL AND RESOURCES? Or, will they hold Martin accountable for his GROSS DISREGARD OF THE ETHICS LAWS?
- Will the voters believe the LIES of the collective nitwittery of the self-employed "life-coaches", overweight car salesmen and the other abject fools who remained silent as some crook ripped-off hundreds of thousands of dollars from the civic club? Or, will the majority of voters finally realize that Martin is nothing more than a lowbrow CROOK himself?
The Martin Chronicles is counting down the days.
WEEKENDER: Any Day Now...
The Martin Chronicles reporters are hearing a great deal of grumbling from the folks who reside in the section of malfeasant Mayor Mike Martin's Villa Hills known as Amsterdam Village. Many of these folks are wondering aloud when their mismanaging mayor is finally going to get around to repairing the venerable Amsterdam Village sign that was reportedly hit by a car quite some time ago.
Martin's lame excuse? He is waiting to see if the daredevil driver who allegedly decided to careen in to the sign has insurance that will pay for the repairs. Uh-huh. Sure.
The asshats at the civic club are most likely applauding their buddy's delay as some sham sign of frugality. But people with triple-digit IQ's view this seemingly-endless embarrassment in a different light.
Here's what we're hearing:
These were the "kindest" things are reporters heard. Just what a creepy guy who's mentor was just annihilated in the Republican primary for Kenton County Judge Executive needs to hear before he faces a general election of his own.
Perhaps Martin's personal-and now City-Attorney Toad V. McMurtry should attempt to explain the concept of subrogation to the mallet-headed mayor.

Here's what we're hearing:
- "Well, I guess its symbolic of Martin's destruction of Villa Hills."
- "How much longer to we have to put up with Martin's stupid $#!t?"
- "Isn't that little dip$#!t some kind of hack handyman? Why doesn't he fix it himself?"
- "Doesn't that jerkwad drive past the sign almost everyday? Does he think its okay?"
- "Can't the road crew fix it? What the he!!? No streets are getting fixed."
- "Just another reason to get rid of the little bastard."
- "Martin, that little ----sucker!"
- "Martin sucks."
- "Martin can't suck enough."
These were the "kindest" things are reporters heard. Just what a creepy guy who's mentor was just annihilated in the Republican primary for Kenton County Judge Executive needs to hear before he faces a general election of his own.

Truly Tasteless Mayors
The Martin Chronicles has received numerous reports recently about some truly tasteless comments made by two nitwit Kenton County mayors These comments were made at -of all places-a funeral home.
It seems the two mayors were beating their chests, telling anyone who was foolish enough to listen that "they are the only two mayors in Northern Kentucky who have the balls to do what had to be done". About what were these two knuckle-draggers bragging?
Well, both of these mouth-breathing mayors fired their Police Chiefs. Yep, that is a real reason to be proud.
You shouldn't be surprised to learn that one of the mayors was malfeasant Mike Martin of Villa Hills. And here we always thought it was Villa Hills Councilwoman Mary Koenig who has the balls.
If by chance Martin says the aforementioned cock-strutting never happened, it will come as no surprise to you that he is LYING.
What else is new?

Analysis: The Tyrants Are Toppling
The Martin Chronicles beloved publisher is throwing a joyous primary election-night shindig for his hard-working staff. Everyone is celebrating the stinging-and-well-deserved-rebuke laid on incumbent County Judge Executive Steve Arlinghaus by the voters of Kenton County. The heavily-favored Arlinghaus was soundly defeated by upstart Kris Knochelmann in a near-landslide.
We had several reporters doing exit-polling in various Kenton County precincts. We knew the mean-spirited Arlinghaus was in deep trouble very early in the day. We learned that voters had grown tired of the wasteful spending and incessant tax hikes that had become the hallmarks of the Arlinghaus regime.
Despite the fact that Villa Hills is Arlinghaus' hometown, voters in his very own precincts expressed hard feelings about the-now-six-month-lame-duck-incumbent Judge Executive.
Why were so many Villa Hillians upset?
Well, when Arlinghaus finally looks back at what went wrong, he should realize that the beginning of his end as Judge Executive began when he described the perfectly legitimate investigation in to the OFFICIAL MISCONDUCT AND NEGLECT OF DUTY of Villa Hills malfeasant Mayor Mike Martin as "a witch hunt", he made a tremendous mistake.
Martin's unleashed lawlessness following that investigation made it quite clear to voters that Martin is indeed a crook. The voters of Villa Hills had the chance to take their anger against Martin out on Arlinghaus. And they did so decisively. "A witch hunt", indeed.
Many voters also said that Arlinghaus official intervention on behalf of the undeserving Martin signaled a "green light" to the diminutive dictator to finish his demolition of the Villa Hills Police Department. Villa Hills voters strongly resented Arlinghaus for clearing the way for Martin' terrible treatment of several honorable law enforcement officers.
We'll have more reportage on other election-night victims of their unwise association with the mallet-headed Martin very soon. It was a very bad night for the bad guys. Huzzah!
The king is dead! Long live the king!
[EDITOR'S NOTE: Our investigative reporters are digging, digging, digging in to the identity of the man many exiting Villa Hills' voters seemed to despise. Most simply referred to this reviled man as "Craigory". As soon as we learn the identity of "Craigory", we'll provide you a full report.]

What Settlement?
The Martin Chronicles wonders if you remember the LIE Villa Hills malfeasant Mayor Mike Martin told after he screwed former Police Chief Dan Goodenough out of his job. Think back. After Martin's shameless public effort to discredit Goodenough, most of Villa Hills was surprised-and disappointed-when Goodenough agreed to retire.
Again, what was Martin's LIE? Well, the tiny tyrant FALSELY promised to release the details of the agreement he reached with Goodenough "in ten days".
But guess what? There never was any real agreement. Why? Because Martin is a DISHONEST PHONY. Martin and his personal-and now City-Attorney Toad V. McMurtry are not honoring the framework of the agreement that was reached prior to Goodenough announcing he would retire.
Several sources say that Martin and McMurtry never intended to honor the agreement. It was just another one of their many con jobs. The whole kangaroo court was all about Martin's vendetta sparked by his 2007 FORGERY ARREST.
Martin simply wanted to publicly embarrass Goodenough and fire him. Screwing the former Chief out of any settlement Martin and McMurtry FALSELY promised is just icing on the cake to the both of them.
We have also learned that Martin refuses to sign any agreement that may eventually be reached. Why? Because he wants to be able to claim that his "golden moment" council "forced" him to settle with Goodenough.
It is an election year, after all.
