Piermont's Kevin Timoney Fudges His Availability.

In what is probably his most disingenuous answer of the evening, Kevin Timoney came up with this whopper during the Piermont mayoral debate of October 9, 2025.

Kevin Timoney proudly touts his full-time career as “Executive Director, Citywide Contracts at NYC Office of Technology & Innovation”, and it is clear that he has no current intention of quitting that post anytime soon. Additionally, in his answer below, Timoney also tells us that he has a husband, and that he has a daughter. He has a family, and a full-time job. He also tells us that he takes a bus commute to and from New York City three days a week, which alone could tie up an incremental nine or ten hours per week of his time depending upon traffic. Maybe more.
 
Yet we all know by now that the elected post of Mayor of Piermont is also full-time job, but for part-time pay – currently US$12,000 per year. It’s that same paucity of pay, by the way, that directly results in Piermont getting human driftwood running for office like disgraced exiting Mayor Bruce Tucker and now his anointed Mini-Me disciple Kevin Timoney.
 
So, Kevin Timoney assures us that he can handle two full-time careers at once. Why? Because he has a laptop on the bus. A laptop.

He'll be mayoring from the bus.

So, what is going to happen when there is yet another flood in Piermont? A law enforcement event? A discovery of a new contagion outbreak? A fire? Any of these things could happen at any hour. 

Kevin Timoney is running for Mayor of Piermont against Nate Mitchell, a career first responder who works independently and is available to the community 24/7. And Kevin Timoney purports to assure us that he, too, will be readily available to the community as Mayor?
 
Cognitive dissonance? Having a difficult time wrapping your head around Timoney’s answer? Yeah. There’s a reason. The reason, is that Kevin Timoney is lying to you. Kevin Timoney is a member of a commercial real estate developer family. 
He wants to be Mayor of Piermont out of affectation, for self-indulgent and self-serving purposes, and to carry out the malevolent anti-Mitchell wishes of his predecessor, Garmento Mayor Bruce Tucker. 

If the Piermont electorate asks Kevin Timoney to maintain two full-time jobs, the result will hurt Piermont, not New York City. Kevin Timoney would make sure of that:

…Please explain your professional commitments… and how… will this change or affect your availability as Mayor?...
 
KEVIN TIMONEY
Oh… So yes… I… that’s a great questionum[sic]… And it was one I thought, as I mentioned before, I do have a five-year-old daughter… uh[sic]… Determining to run for Mayor, obviously, is a big… step and it’s a big thought-process[sic]. That is why I decided to run as an Independent… um[sic]… because I missed the Democratic primary and it was something that needed thoughtful consideration… um[sic]… But the more I thought about it, the more if you didn’t like something, you have to go out and change… and I’ve realized… um[sic]… I am fortunate enough to work from home two days a week, and I commute into the city where… um[sic]… on those other days. But… it’s a commute on the bus. As I mentioned, I get a laptop. I would love to answer questions, work on spreadsheets, do that… like… do things[sic]… I’m a very good multitasker… um[sic]… as my husband knows, I wake up early. I’ll go for a run… um[sic]… my day starts sometimes at 4:30 in the morning... um… Time is… wasted if you’re not doing something, so… um[sic]… I’m up for a challenge and I love it.
