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:

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:

As for Kevin Timoney? Not so much:

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:
