Mayor of Mount Kisco Kilkenny and Trustee Holohan - Write-ins

Your Daily Patch column this morning
regarding the letter from Mayor Cindrich is totally partisan politics. Was your
call to me on Saturday to give the Mayor a heads-up so he could write a letter
referring to his reelection; which he has not done since he was elected several
years ago and has only bothered to write now in response to a “write-in”
campaign.  What incumbent have you ever seen
responding to a “write-in” candidate;” –none that I can think of…so is the
Mayor anxious that his administration has failed the residents of Mount Kisco
and he would rather continue his ineffectual administration making “you” his
saddle to stay in the barn.

Reading your “bio” - Tom; it
appears you missed some classes in Syracuse. Perhaps you should read it again
yourself!

(“At Patch, we promise always to

Center-left...”  - guess that says it
all, doesn’t it  -Tom?

So this will post on my blog and
hope that the residents of Mount Kisco see the desperation of the current Mayor
and your ham-fisted posting of one side of the story and will turn that
desperation of the Mayor’s into intellectual fervor and ask the residents of
Mount Kisco to vote on November 5, 2013 for Patric Kilkenny as a “write-in”
vote for Mayor and Don Holohan as a “write-in” vote for George Griffin.

It is interesting that the Mayor,
like most ensconced politicians, talks about himself, using “I” more than ten times
in his letter.  The Mayor may also want
to take credit for the building of the Pyramids.  Mr. Mayor, it’s not about you or me for that
matter; it is about the combined efforts of a community to improve the living conditions
of those whom our decisions affect; something you have clearly forgotten and
failed.  Reading your letter one may
think you considered yourself the sole Lancelot in keeping the Northern
Westchester Hospital afloat and a great institution; equally interesting, your
letter mentions that the rent for the old post office was in the “tens of
thousands” of dollars.  Sure, if you add
up the rent over a year; otherwise it is $5,000.00 per month Mr. Mayor - $12.50
per square foot for office space in Mount Kisco [I wonder how many other “firms”
would love that deal]; or disbanding our police department and putting the
Village residents at even more risk than they are already. But, here again Mr.
Mayor, you don’t live in the “Village” you live outside the “Village” in a
quiet tree lined street, unencumbered by drug problems, crime problems and overwhelming
traffic problems, all of which your administration has failed to address;  other than of course, raising parking fines
100% to keep people from shopping at the few businesses that are still here.

Obviously, using the youth of an
inexperienced editor has worked to your advantage, but you may be on to
something in your article and the voters will indeed evict you from office for
their lack of confidence in your administrations ability to look forward to
more prosperous days ahead without you at the helm.  

Look at it this way Mr. Mayor,
you can now play tennis on the blue tennis court floors you have installed for
$55,000.00 of the residents money; or maybe buy a house on one of the three parcels
you have set aside in your over half a million dollar purchase of land from the
Boys & Girls Club; all at the expense of losing our police department.

In any matter, whether Democrat,
Independent or Republican, the issues rise above the politics of the
moment.  Mount Kisco residents are fed up
with the same old broken promises, fiscal irresponsibility and lack of
leadership, and need new, exciting and down-to-earth policies which will work
for all the residents of this Village and not just for the cronies who have benefited
from promises on a system which is broken and falling apart.
