We ALL Want To Know Why It's Not Being Productive, TIMBO.

Here is another excerpt from Kevin Timoney’s Piermont mayoral debate “performance” last Thursday evening. 

This one is special:
 

DORIA HILLSMAN

… [W]hat in your career experience… uniquely qualifies you for… candidate for Mayor?...

 

KEVIN TIMONEY

… [A]s I have… I have mentioned… I do have a lot of contacts with state and… city agencies. If we needs[sic] help with something, I know people from the MTA that I would love to talk about the Coast Butt[sic]… the Coach Bus, the Rockland Coach, and why it’s not coming at some… certain times or… you know… it’s… we’re… it’s getting grants, why is it not…um[sic]… [pause]… being productive?[sic]. So these are things that I think being 20 years in government could help Piermont thrive[sic].

 
And yes, that’s really what Kevin Timoney said. Listen to it on the video. He actually sputtered-out “Coast Butt”. Maybe that’s his pet nickname for the motorcoach, after all:

Now I realize that I have already spent a lot of time on this Blog talking about Norm Crosby and Dr. Freud, as applied to Piermont mayoral “candidate” Kevin Timoney. There is no doubt that we could fully analyze the above transcripted passage to Kevin Timoney’s political detriment and Nate Mitchell’s political advantage, if we really wanted to do so. It would take hours, but we could really do it.
 
Yet in this case, why bother?
 
Because res ipsa loquitur.
 
The thing speaks for itself.

Piermont's Kevin Timoney Wants Your Kids As Interns.

Given that but a short 15 years ago, Piermont Village government’s failure to monitor the Piermont Fire Department led to a 16-year-old boy tied to a chair by three other firefighters and sexually-abused, in turn leading to criminal charges and massive civil liability not to mention inexcusable severe psychological damage to the victim and desecration of the Village’s reputation – how smart do you think it would be for Piermont to bring in college-age interns to Piermont Village Hall to handle the Village’s social media presence and other office work? 

Well, guess what? It's another one of Kevin Timoney’s bright ideas. 

Here. From last Thursday night's mayoral debate transcript:
 

DORIA HILLSMAN

… [B]eyond architecture and environmental issues, is there anything else you feel threatens the character of the village?…

 

KEVIN TIMONEY

Thank you. I think… the threat… I would say is that we aren’t really promoting our small businesses as much as I… as I would like... um[sic]… We do have a downtown that does have… a lot of restaurants that we all know, but it does have a beautiful number of shops, and there are also spaces… um[sic]… This is a destination for people to come to. We need to make sure that our stores are getting…um[sic]… [pause]… a social presence. If that is getting[sic]… you know, one of my ideas that I’ve had is trying to get interns… um[sic]… from STAQ or Dominican here to help with… um[sic]… the Village Hall staff with the burden of work, or having them do social media presence for us, so… people realize that, you know, there’s Valentina’s Hair Salon, there’s Presence of Piermont, there’s women’s closing[sic] stores, we have ice cream. I want people to know that this is a thriving community, and we have a lot of character, so I think helping these local businesses… is very important.

 

So query - would you want your college-age children helping Jennifer DeYorgi Maher affix postage to envelopes and then mailing them out at the post office? Or saying that they did?

Would you want your college-age children caught up in a New City litigation, or a Bruce Tucker-esque New York State Comptroller audit - even as a witness?

 
For that matter, would you want your college-age children learning to speak word-salad and fake answers on the fly while on the job just like Kevin Timoney?
 
I didn’t think so.
 
Moreover, why don’t the spirit and principles of American ingenuity and capitalism generally, mean that the businesses need to do their own damn social media promotion for themselves? Why would that even be government’s function? Because after all, you already know that if digital luminaries like Bruce Tucker and Michael Wright tried to do social media promotion for Piermont businesses, those business would all go bankrupt in the same hurry. 

For that matter, why should Kevin Timoney be allowed to make presumably unpaid interns slave away for free, while full-time workers in Piermont Village Hall cash-in with salary, pension, and benefits? Why should the interns be doing the jobs that professional government workers within Village Hall are already collecting lots of Piermont tax dollars to do? 

The whole concept is insulting and disconnected from commercial reality.
 
And besides, the last time I can remember a Democratic Party administration using interns to ease the workplace tension, it didn’t go so well, did it?

Piermont's Kevin Timoney Has Nostalgia For The Garbageman.

I know that I gave Kevin Timoney’s Piermont mayoral-race opponent Nate Mitchell a hard time some number of days ago - about Nate’s campaign literature wherein Nate tried to paint the idyllic Norman Rockwell image of wearing “crick shoes” at the Sparkill Creek back in days of yore.
 
But that said, this whopper of a Kevin Timoney quote from last Thursday night’s mayoral debate, absolutely wins the prize.
 
At this part of the mayoral debate program, Piermont’s own answer to Norm Crosby - one Kevin James Timoney himself - tells all of us how he has a “sense” of “comfort” and “nostalgia” for the garbageman.
 
“Nostalgia”... For the garbageman:
 

DORIA HILLSMAN

… [W]hat are your views on shared services, that is, police, fire, and… DPW?...

 

KEVIN TIMONEY

Great, thank you. Uh[sic]… yeah, I agree. I think that you know… we… my husband and I, we moved to Piermont knowing that there was… a police department and a DPW here. It gives you a sense of comfort and… um[sic]… nostalgia that you know everyone. You know the garbage man, you know what[sic] the pickups are, they work with you, you know the times they come.

 

So I think… we… I enjoy having the police and the DPW and the Fire Department. But I think… um[sic] … as I mentioned, we need to be creative, ‘cause these are expensives[sic]… expenses that we need to account for. So that’s why we need to… start… doing… creative[sic]… we have to start promoting our small businesses and everything so we can pay for this tax revenue[sic]… um[sic]… It is a… luxury that we do have these, but it’s a luxury that we are paying for. So we need to be creative… so we can afford these. But… um[sic]… I support having them all in the town[sic]… the Village for us.

 
If you are thinking that I somehow mis-transcribed “neuralgia” as “nostalgia” instead, think again. Kevin Timoney absolutely said “nostalgia”:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6Jn311x9j0
 
And worse yet, consider this - again, after first reading through the usual Kevin Timoney word-salad gibberish. To address the topic of shared services, Kevin Timoney says “we need to start doing creative”[sic] “so we can pay for this tax revenue”[sic].
 
What the Hell does Kevin Timoney even MEAN? The tax revenue comes in, not out. Maybe Kevin Timoney missed that part of his civics class in grade school. The tax revenue enters Village coffers and is then paid out for services. There is no “we” that is paying for “tax revenue” post facto. Rather, fake politicians like Kevin Timoney impose tax revenue directly upon the shoulders of the working families in villages like Piermont. And from his reference above, you already know where Kevin Timoney is headed if he is the one to present Piermont residents with their next tax bills in 2026.
 
Moreover, what in the blazes is the “luxury” that Kevin Timoney is talking about? Expenses relating to police, fire, and DPW are necessities, not luxuries.
 
This individual is absolutely making it up as he goes along.
 
This individual is a fool.

Can't Believe You Fake It.

So here’s another moment from last Thursday night’s Piermont mayoral debate. This one is almost as cringe-worthy as another, different moment - the moment it was made manifest that Kevin Timoney was too clueless to know Piermont already had an Architectural Review Board:
https://unhandpiermont.blogspot.com/2025/10/piermonts-kevin-timoney-cringe-worthy.html
 
On the other hand, this was the moment when Kevin Timoney channeled the otherwise-inimitable Admiral Stockdale, wafting off into space – or, wafting off into “stace”[sic] as TIMBO might be otherwise inclined to pronounce it:

 

DORIA HILLSMAN

… Mr. Timoney, specifically, what would you do to protect green space?

 

[Daydream].  [Confused pause].

 

KEVIN TIMONEY [in space, a la Admiral Stockdale]]

Oh, is that for me?... Sorry… What was the?… I didn’t… [unintelligible]…

 

DORIA HILLSMAN

What would you do to protect green space?

 

KEVIN TIMONEY [returned to consciousness]

Oh… Thank you.

 
Then Kevin Timoney continued his “response”. Aside from Timoney’s typical word-salad answering-style, Timoney actually admits to - before ever being elected Mayor of Piermont - conferring with the real estate development cluster currently threatening to destroy 447-477 Piermont Avenue. That’s consistent with the discovery that Siltmaster developer Frank DeCarlo and his company “FDC Development” already “friended” Kevin Timoney’s campaign Facebook page. You know -  the page where Timoney currently touts 33 “friends” as of this writing?:

https://www.facebook.com/kevin.piermont.united

 
Worse yet, Timoney’s idea of mayoral power is to “have discussions about getting that fence out” at 447-477 Piermont Avenue? That’s the answer of a human marshmallow. That fence isn’t even to code. The Village had the absolute right to effect its take-down months ago - by force, if necessary. Therefore, welcome to your preview of the Pro-Development Kevin Timoney Namby-Pamby Mayoral Reign.
 
Yet worst of all, on the substance, Kevin Timoney totally misses the point of the initial “green space” question and issue, thereby leaving it to his mayoral-race opponent Nate Mitchell to actually explain to Piermont residents the significance of the “Fee In Lieu Of Parkland” program.
 
Here:
 

KEVIN TIMONEY

Uh… So, green stace[sic]… green space is obviously very important… um[sic]… I think one way is talking with the developers who want to build on these spaces and try to work something out. I think when you go in on 100… um[sic]… you don’t get anything. If you actually have an open conversation with them and a dialogue and see what they’re trying to propose, and you work with them, you can get a little bit more. I’ve actually had conversations with one of the owners who… across the street from Bunbury’s, and they’ve even said that they will contact the developer if I’m elected, prob…[sic]… and we can have discussions about getting that fence out. Because… I want to have there… obviously we c[an’t]…[sic]… it’s not… part of green space, but it is part of having our downtown not be fenced-in… um[sic]… we need to protect our green space. We need to, as we mentioned with the Erie Trail, these are places that we want to… enjoy… um[sic]… and we’ve got to protect it. Thank you.

 

NATE MITCHELL

Well, so fortunately, a lot of our green spaces are actually Village-owned property, and so one of the important things to remember is that we should not be selling off any of our Village property in order to facilitate anything if it comes at the cost of losing some of our important green spaces. And, also, our zoning laws are another important tool in the toolbox for controlling what amount of green space is available. For example, when a subdivision is proposed, the subdivision is required to set aside a certain amount of green space and dedicate it to the Village as parkland. But we have an alternative. We have two “FILOPs” in Piermont... We have Fee In Lieu Of Parking, and Fee In Lieu Of Parkland.

 

And that Fee In Lieu Of Parkland comes into play in the situation where someone comes in with an application for a subdivision. They have the option of either setting aside some green space for us as parkland, or paying us in lieu of it. And one of the things that I was a little bit bummed about was there is a proposal going on right now for the so-called Village Green to build three houses behind our Kennedy Memorial Monument, and we chose to take the money instead of the parkland, in that case. I would prefer that we took the parkland and do that in all subdivision applications. Thank you.

 
Once again, Nate Mitchell has the answer, while Kevin Timoney just fakes one.

Chicken Timoney: Proud To Blow Off The Meeting.

Another thing that we learned during last Thursday night’s Piermont mayoral debate, is that Nate Mitchell cares enough about Piermont to attend important meetings that could be determinative of Piermont’s future - like a meeting about the Erie Path.
 
“Candidate” Kevin Timoney, on the other hand, has no problem blowing them off – while offering no attendant explanation for his absence to the Piermont residents whose votes he claims he seeks.
 
How could “candidate” Kevin Timoney have possibly chosen to blow off the all-important meeting about the Erie Path in Piermont - a meeting occurring but a few short weeks prior to the October 25, 2025 commencement of early voting and the November 4, 2025 Election Day itself?
 
Well, you could ask Kevin Timoney this, if TIMBO were brave enough to take questions directly from Piermont residents.
 
But he’s not. And therefore you can’t. Because Kevin Timoney is too chicken for that:

https://unhandpiermont.blogspot.com/2025/10/save-date-october-21-2025-700-pm-nate.html
 
If you can read through Kevin Timoney’s continued butchery of the English language in the debate Transcript excerpt below, then what follows, demonstrates the difference between the Mayor who shows up, versus just another Out Of Town Brown:
 

DORIA HILLSMAN

Mr. Timoney, do you support the Rockland County proposed plans for the trail? And if so, why? And if not, why not?

 

KEVIN TIMONEY [laughs nervously]

Very good question, and I know that there was a meeting on September 17th that I was not able to attend, and I’ve heard varying… information about it… Um[sic]… I do not believe in paving the Erie Path. I will tell you that 100 percent… Uh[sic]… I think it… would be detrimental to the environment…Um[sic]… It can cause landslides, erosion… Um[sic]… It’s just unsafe for the people who would live below there… Um[sic]… So, no, I’m not for the Erie Path… uh[sic]… the reconstruction. If it is for paving the streets that connect the path and putting up more signage to help, I think that’s okay… I think the people running that are being a bit… not trustful[sic], where they’re saying that they’ve reached out to people who live along the Erie Path… um[sic]… to see if they want… have them build gardens on their behalf or make it more private. I know that that has not happened, so… I’m not taking with what they’re saying[sic]… um[sic]… with much accuracy[sic]. But no, I don’t believe in the… construction of the… changing Erie Path[sic].

 

NATE MITCHELL

Well, unfortunately, I’m not sure that it’s up to us to make that determination. And I did attend that meeting on the 17^th… The committee did offer to give privacy screens to any resident that wanted to have a privacy screen set up. But what I’m hearing from residents is, I don’t want a privacy screen, I want privacy. And those are two very different things…

 
Do Piermont residents want a Mayor who acts on hearsay and supposition alone – or alternatively, a Mayor who acts on the present-sense impression of direct evidence of his own witnessing, and a man who actually shows up?
 
That should be a rhetorical question, too.

On Piermont Flooding, Kevin Timoney Has No Ideas Of His Own Except For "To-Go Bags".

If you can cut through the now-characteristic Kevin Timoney nervous gibberish, you will note a few remarkable things about his mayoral debate “answer” from last Thursday on how to protect Piermont from flooding and sea level rise:

DORIA HILLSMAN

...Going back to the building questions... how would you protect the Village from the sea level rise?...

KEVIN TIMONEY

Yes, thank you. Um[sic]… my opponent has great expertise in the water resiliency[sic], and… if elected Mayor, I would love to work with him on some of these behalfs[sic]. I’ve read it[sic] and there is a lot of great document[sic]… There’s a lot of great stuff in there. Uh[sic]… One is to-go bags that I see. I think everyone should have those… Um[sic]… I don’t know if they’re being utilized, but let’s get donations from people[sic]… from companies to donate, and we can hand these out to the people who are living in those affected areas to make sure in the case of a flooding or an emergency, they can get that. I also have, as I mentioned… um[sic]… contracts[sic] where we did with housing recovery where after Sandy, they had to rebuild in Far Rockaway. I would like to use some of those techniques that they used for the storm surges and for building of the… houses to bring that here and see that… what we can use to help us… um[sic]… as well as for the Office of Emergency Management, they have a lot of tools that we may not even know about but I have these contacts there that I would love to bring here and try to get us more informed as well.

First, Timoney admits that he could only look to more powerful authorities like OEM and its resources to solve these problems. He is already telling you that he has no capacity to fix things himself. And he’s right. He’s just an inane laptop drone of an inapposite city bureaucracy. He’s not an executive. He’s a pin-pusher.

Second, Timoney even tells you that he would look to his mayoral opponent Nate Mitchell himself for the solutions, given Mitchell’s “great expertise” on these topics as admitted by Timoney. So, this raises an important question. Given how serious an existential threat flooding and seal level rise really is for Piermont, then why don’t the Piermont residents simply elect Nate Mitchell as Mayor of Piermont and thereby cut-out the gibberish-spewing ersatz middleman who has no worthwhile original ideas of his own?

Third – “to-go bags”?... and THAT’S the answer that you’re going with, TIMBO... Really?...

In other words, this genius’s answer to flooding and sea level rise, is to first beg for bag money and then ask everyone in Piermont to bug out of town?

Kevin Timoney had an opportunity last Thursday night to impress Piermont residents with his research and capacity for original thought as a wannabe-executive over the next two years.

Kevin Timoney failed.

Piermont's Kevin Timoney: The Cringe-Worthy Candidate.

If you do not know this already, Kevin Timoney was the ad hoc, slap-dash afterthought candidate for Mayor of Piermont. Timoney was propped-up a few weeks ago by failed exiting Garmento Mayor Bruce Tucker. No, not because Bruce Tucker cares about the residents of Piermont. He really doesn’t. Tucker could not possibly care less about you. Tucker only cares about himself. But Bruce Tucker propped-up Kevin Timoney as an ad hoc, slap-dash afterthought candidate for Piermont Mayor, because Bruce Tucker hates the real mayoral candidate, Nate Mitchell, with a passion. Tucker will do virtually anything to prevent Nate Mitchell from becoming Mayor of Piermont.
 
It should therefore come as little surprise that Kevin Timoney gave ad hoc, slap-dash answers to Piermont mayoral debate questions last Thursday night. Kevin Timoney’s non-answers reflected Timoney's own lack of research, his lack of due diligence, his inability to think on his feet, his inability to generate original thought – and in some cases, even his inability to string two complete sentences together. Yet Timoney’s most embarrassing cringe-worthy answer, just had to have been this one. Of all the bad answers Timoney gave, this is the one that should continue to keep him up at night:
 

DORIA HILLSMAN

… Mr. Timoney. What is your vision for acceptable development for the Village?

 

KEVIN TIMONEY

That’s a great question. And I alluded to that before in one of my questions[sic] regarding zoning. I think we need to… have… we need to get our zoning[sic] in place because we need to have a transparent and a community-engaged process. Um[sic]… as I mentioned… the spot across Bunbury’s is a very hot topic, as we all do know.

 

But… we’ve got to make a zoning[sic] where it doesn’t favor any specific development. And we’ve got to get an Architectural Review Board. If that means a brand new board or… having that as part of our Planning Board, we need to have som[sic]… we need to have the Village have a say in what our character of downtown looks like. Um[sic]… it is important that we start working on that zoning right away… [Emphasis supplied].

 
Now, you might be inclined to ask, what’s so wrong with Timoney’s proposal to create a brand new Piermont Architectural Review Board, or to develop an Architectural Review Board out of the Planning Board?
 
Oh, nothing. Nothing in the abstract, anyway.
 
Except that in this case, TIMBO, Piermont already has an Architectural Review Board!
 
Explained Nate Mitchell, in response to the same question:
 

NATE MITCHELL

We do actually have an Architectural Review Board on the books in Piermont. It hasn’t been active in a few years because there are challenges about finding what architecture is appropriate in a built environment that has such eclectic architecture. I think it’s something that we need to look at, but I’m not sure that it is the cure-all for our issues. Thank you. [Emphasis supplied].

 
The imbecilic nonsense of Kevin Timoney's “answer” above, is exactly what we should expect from Kevin Timoney going forward from the lever-pusher who has already distinguished himself as the undisputed King of Municipal Redundancy and Waste:
https://unhandpiermont.blogspot.com/2025/10/kevin-timoneys-moronic-plan-for.html
Indeed, why not build another Architectural Review Board identical to the first?... Fun!... Piermont can run both of them at once!... At resident taxpayer expense even!
 
Kevin Timoney is a stooge. Kevin Timoney didn’t even bother to look up the fact that Piermont’s Architectural Review Board already exists. Timoney could have asked Nate Mitchell about this in advance of the debate. Nate Mitchell would have told him. Hell, Timoney could have even asked failed exiting Garmento Mayor Bruce Tucker. Even the Garmento might have known the answer. But Timoney’s paucity of preparation and lack of attention to detail here on this issue last Thursday night, tells you exactly what you can expect if Piermont suffers the misfortune of a Timoney two-year mayoral term. 

If elected, Kevin Timoney WILL step in it again. 

Like Joe Namath, I GUARANTEE it.
 
Finally, for now, look at the genteel manner in which Nate Mitchell indirectly and carefully corrected, not Timoney himself, but the written record instead, by making sure that everyone knew that the Piermont Architectural Review Board already exists. Mitchell could have SLAMMED Kevin Timoney on this item at that moment in the debate - and perhaps if it had been a non-PDC real debate, Mitchell really could have. Yet the fact is that some of us fight like streetfighters, because that’s how we came up, and others of us fight like gentlemen like Nate Mitchell. Nate Mitchell showed remarkable restraint and maturity when he chose not to hammer Kevin Timoney with the stupidity of Timoney’s “I know!... Let’s make an Architectural Review Board!” “suggestion” – as Mitchell also showed remarkable restraint and maturity at other times during the same one-hour session:
https://unhandpiermont.blogspot.com/2025/10/the-flagrant-hypocrisy-of-piermont.html
 
As for Kevin Timoney? Not so much:
https://unhandpiermont.blogspot.com/2025/10/the-flagrant-hypocrisy-of-piermont.html
 
So, Piermont residents, do you want to waste your tax dollars redundantly re-inventing the wheel time and time again on unnecessary initiatives, all because Kevin Timoney is too junior, too lazy, and too thick to know or look-up their antecedents? Do you want to be the lab hamsters for Kevin Timoney’s governance experiments for the next two years – at your own expense? Then, please, by all means, vote for Kevin Timoney for Piermont Mayor when early voting starts on Saturday, October 25, 2025:
