The Courant has just posted an editorial on the Assistant Chief posting at HFD and what has become the latest scandal for the Segarra Adminstration to address
Here is the Courant's editorial .http://www.courant.com/news/opinion/editorials/hc-ed-fix-was-in-for-top-spot-in-fire-department-20140820,0,4519900.story
I have to ask the same question that many people calling me are asking. What does Saundra Kee-Borges have that she can hold over Segarra's head. It must be good to be be able to embarrass Segarra time and time again and still survive.
Pedro, aren't you tired of looking like a fool at the hands of SKB yet? Clearly you can do it on your own without her help.
And as a sidenote, here we are over 24 hours later and Mayor Segarra's Lack of Communication Director Maribel LaLuz has not responded to requests for comment I am not sure we really need it or that anyone would trust them with an explanation at this point
Aren't SKB and Waller's kids also City employees in jobs created for them at DP. I think SKB's sister in law is also a City employee. At least she seems qualified to run an employment agency out of City Hall
ReplyDeletethat should have read at DPW
ReplyDeleteLittle man is going to get the job. It sucks but it's the hfd way. Nothing is going to change. How about instead of spending money on reposting jobs and lawsuited we complain to vinny that we need more dental insurance so "supervisor smith who couldn't get hired at minake " get his tootheses fixed. May be then our fire trucks wouldn't leak and have the same colored rims.
ReplyDelete"Promotions should be based on qualifications, not connections. The taxpayers are paying for the best leaders available, not the best friends of those in power. This is particularly important in a department that deals with life and death." Could not have said it better. Kevin, maybe for your next trick you can check into why the passing score for the Deputy Chief test was lowered to a 67 from the traditional 70. My guess, it is to get another undeserving individual promoted. Huertas told me himself that certain members of the council wanted 2 minority Captains promoted to Deputy Chief with out having to take a test. This was the same meeting were he was told that Waller was going to be his A/C if he wanted to be the Chief. Huertas told them that he could only promote them if they passed the test. Apparently 1 of them couldn't even do that so they lowered the passing score to 67. Doesn't sound right to me. Maybe you can FOI the written results to expose more corruption. By the way the one who got the 67 is the only candidate who is a city resident. I am willing to bet the same corrupt individuals are involved.
ReplyDeleteHet terry last night when the shelter on hyshope flooded why did you cancel the fire marshals office to respond? Car 1 hurertas on scene had to request them. Didn't want to venture into the slums from terry rd. 83 homeless people aren't good enough for hartford fire department resources. Everyone answered the call but you. Probably shining alb shoes.
ReplyDeletePromotions are based on qualifications for common employees. In all administrations we have seen people being promoted when they know someone inside. In previous administration some people were also hired and their jobs tailored to fit their fixed resume. They not only were outsiders hired with the highest salary but promoted to administrative positions after the year. The over stepped employees who were more qualified and had more experience. At that time the process went smoothly and quite, those who complaint were punished. It all depends on who is and when it happens. The illegal promotion of Mr Waller is nothing new.
ReplyDeleteSandy,s son works at Dow in a no show job,has has some run ins with the law and reeks of marijuana when he shows uo to work.
ReplyDeleteSKB and Caviar looks like you been checked. What's your next move in this chess game of despicable corruption.
ReplyDeleteYou both know Tic Tac Toe Terry does measure up to the quaified candiates. Tip; size matters. Another Tip; this is tax free week for back to school, the uniform store's are having a huge sale on kids pretend chief uniforms. I called, they have your size in stock, their holding one for you in the pre-teen section. You can take the city vehicle and get ithere early, becareful driving, wear your seatbelt and don't forget your booster seat.
The corruption on the HFD seems to get worse everyday. Why not look into problem employees who create no show jobs for themselves through abuse of workmans comp., sick leave, union bailouts and the disciplinary process? Hartford residents deserve an employee who will at least show up on a regular basis over their career.
ReplyDeleteAnnonymous 7:04, I thought I saw Tic Tac Toe Terry when i was shopping for my kids uniforms, I couldn't get a good look the racks were about 4and a half feet tall.
ReplyDeleteI took the kids to lunch, we went to the Crab Shack and low and behold, a little guy was ordering and it was Tic Tac Toe Terry, I confirm he took your advice, he had his uniform bag with him. You know how kids are when they get something new.
He was on the phone with SKB, i over heard something about playing dress-up.
Where's Tic Tac Toe, Tic Tac Toe, Tic Tac Toe Terry? We haven't from you for quiet some time now.
DeleteTerry,bring your shoe shine box as mayor caviar wants a shine
ReplyDeleteThe Courant woke up. Finally. What took them so long? What kind of a watchdog is this? What about follow up? Where're Segarra, Borges, Waller now? WHO ASKED HR TO ADD THE CONVENIENT/CORRUPT/BORDERLINE CRIMINAL RESIDENCY REQUIREMENT? WHO'S BEHIND THIS? DID THEY ASK HUERTAS ALL THE TOUGH QUESTIONS THAT NEED TO BE ASKED?
ReplyDeleteI know someone personally that works for DPW and is a drug dealer and drives a Porshe, WTH, how much money can this person makes, with no high school diploma and live that life style!! And everyone knows of his dealings in City Hall and Police Dept but because so many use & buy his drugs, they won't say anything. City of Hartford is so corrupted, can it ever be repaired??? SKB should be ashame of herself!!
ReplyDeleteAnonymous at 11:29AM give us that person name, let's fight this corruption & dirt in the city. You have nothing to worry about, you give it anonymously.
