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”:

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.
