The Village is intent on raising parking fines 100%. That will not be a remedy for the continuing closing of businesses, nor the creation of new business. I would institute an Enterprise Zone, much akin to Jack Kemps' idea, giving businesses tax incentives to open new business which would increase revenue to the town through sales tax, create jobs and promote community activism.
I would enforce the laws we have on the books regarding keeping Mt. Kisco beautiful [storeowners cleaning their sidewalks everyday] instead of spending more countless thousands of dollars on a “beautification program.” Yes, you heard right a "beautification program" which will do nothing if we don't have businesses to visit.
Other areas which strain the credulity of a thinking person; like leasing the old post office to the Village Attorney's law firm for $12.50 per square foot in 2011 on a five-year lease.
