YOU CAN'T FIGHT CITY HALL

OH YES YOU CAN!!! And sometimes you may even win. After posting over a week ago about the tailor made job posting for Assistant Fire Chief. It appeared to be tailor made for the significant other/fiancee'/boyfriend of Hartford's Corporation Counsel Saundra Kee Borges.

Terry Waller was the heir apparent until about 5:00PM today when the heat in the kitchen must have gotten a little too hot for Mayor Caviar. Segarra suddenly reversed his position and ordered the position re-posted and open to all, minus the residency requirement.

We will see how this progresses but I am sure people still want to hear the truth as to how this happened and who orchestrated the original posting.

It will probably be blamed on some clerk who added the residency requirement in without any one reviewing it for accuracy. Although they did have plenty of time to fix the mistake since it was posted here over a week ago. I guess a threatened editorial from the Courant might have pushed Pedro over the edge.

Requests for comment from the Mayor's  spokeperson Maribel LaLuz were not returned

Let the comments begin!!

  1. Kevin,

    You and your efforts have done more to make Hartford a better place than Segarra, Kee- Borges any Councilperson or the other criminals at City Hall.

    And we know we can believe you when you tell us something

    Thank you for your work

  2. But we have to know what the truth is. Who decided what? These crooks MUST be investigated no matter what.

  3. Segarra, his cronies, his assistants and friends, they all read your blog, Kevin. Some of them comment for mayor caviar - he'll be forever mayor caviar, once caviar always caviar. Why didn't react earlier? Why did they have to wait for a Courant article?

  4. Congrats Brookman. The morons finally woke up, or maybe the earth was burning under Pedro's feet

  5. Finally we can all respect the Segarra administration for its transparency: all the corruption and dishonesty is transparent.

  6. Kevin, I think its a little early to be claiming victory with city hall. SKB lives for corruption and greed so I'm sure she is already strategically planning another way of skinning the cat to get her boy-toy the job. That skank will find a way to fix the testing to accommodate her one trick (Shetland) pony. I guess you never heard back from Huertas, if he has any integrity he will tell the truth, that he was told he would have to make Terry Assistant Chief or he wouldn't be made Chief himself.

    1. I agree with you 9:11pm. They say "It ain't over till the fat lady sings." Let's see what the outcome is going to be. Segarra, SKB & Waller are definitely cooking something.

  7. Can't overlook winning the battles , the goal will not be attained until there is a competent Mayor and administration sin place at. City Hall as well as a Council not willing to turn a blind eye to

  12. HR director Henry Burgos said in a written statement: "THE CITY OF HARTFORD IS COMMITTED TO HIRING ITS OWN RESIDENTS WHENEVER POSSIBLE." Therefore, it's going to be interesting to know where Burgos resides himself and who instructed him to add the residency requirement in the earlier job posting. I bet Segarra/SKB will try to blame some little clerk at HR.

  13. Caviar, ( I refuse to call him Mayor) blantantly violates the Charter,Policies rules and regulations. Department Heads, Deputies and unclassified employees can live in China for all this so called Mayor is concerned,. Caviar does what he wants and should be charged with abuse of power, which is a legitiment charge.

    How ironic when positions call for Hartford residents, Caviar does what he wants for his cronies, but when it came to Assistant Chief, which didn't call for residency, he made sure it called for residency so Terry the midget could get the job promised to his do nothing cronie SKB.

    An audit was done regarding Al Ilg and (Charlie) Chapman, aren't they both still there? As well as the 10 plus other employees viilating the Charter. Rubenstein conduct an audit, the numbers are scandalous.

    Where is Council President. Wooden? Is he asleep while Caviar is shoving it up his wazu,
    Is he still mourning his loss and his yet another failed attempt at his phony Political Career? Did Wooden weigh in on this travesty?

    Absolutely this needs to be investigated, it is a clear cut of corruption, abuse of power and Caviar's disregard for city laws, taxpayers, city employees and the Office of Mayor.

    Also I don't see any comment from Tic Tac Toe / Terry... Are you finally seeing the light Terry? You are an incompetent, unqualified looser, with NO Respect from your fellow firefighters.

    Calling the State's Attorney Office; please help Hartford, Investigate Caviar's abuse of Power!

  14. I've asked before and I'll ask again:

    SAUNDRA KEE BORGES: DID YOU REMOVE A LIEN IN THE AMOUNT OF $50,629.30 THAT WAS ON A PROPERTY IN PARK ST.? THE OWNER OF THIS PROPERTY IS...... YOUR FIANCE TERRY WALLER. IS THIS A COINCIDENCE OR WHAT?

    It's a very simple question. Is the answer YES or NO?

  15. Tic-Tac-Toe Where are you??
    You have been a little quiet on this blog since it was announced that the AC job is not going to be a slam dunk for you. I will bet you are really nervous now because YOU KNOW that you will come up short (no pun intended) against your more qualified competition.

  16. I really do not understand with Mr. Segarra continues to have her on that post. Embarrassment after embarrassment, I don't get it. Her husband is not the only one, she also placed her sister in-law at the Health Department, without any qualifications to do her job. The office of Corporation Council mistrusted by Council, most lawyers have left, many others looking for jobs. What is this guy waiting for, why is he willing to go down with her; makes no sense for a politician. I don't get it, anyone?

    Thanks god she is not the COO, not that the new choice is any better or more competent. Our City deserved better and we must, we must demand it. It s our City, they come and go. It is time for many to just go now

  17. It's a game. They will spend money to interview a handful and ultimately the best qualified will be Terri. Hope not but we will see.

  18. This's the list of people who should be investigated:
    1. Pedro Caviar.
    2. Saundra Kee Borges.
    3. Terry Waller.
    4. Chief Huertas.
    5. Henry Burgos.

    As an alternative, SKB could, and maybe should, be investigated first.
    This should be called for and handled by US Attorney's office, 450 Main St., Hartford.

  19. Tic-Tac-Toe-Terry, Tic-Tac-Toe-Terry, where are you?

  20. Kevin

    I think you should, we, call for an investigation. Council and Audit must look into this. The fact that they drooped the residency clause after you and the Hartford Courant called their game is an indication that something is fishy here. More so, by City Charter the Mayor and/or his office do not hire; I think only Directors (Fire Chief) can hire. Would be interested to look at HR email, they were not expecting this and it is probably all there; you probably already requested all.

    What some people are asking from Huertas is to just commit suicide, without our support he can't do that. He would be fired on the spot and replaced by god knows who

  21. Annonymous 10:10, the answer is YES, YES, YES! SKB removed the tax lien for TIC TAC TOE Terry and do not forget the coverup with the Tower Ave buisness.

    Where are the audits, investigations, Council outrage, the Govenor??? Malloy was so eager to be invoved in Hartford Politics, remember from the steps of City Hall, he brokered the Wooden. Deal for Council and Council President. Where's Malloy now. He will have a difficukt time this ekection. I worked on Malloy's campaign last election, i will not this time around and will not VOTE for him.

    Caviar, wake up cut this noose from your nsck, SKB is killing you. You need to change your medication, it's making you disillusional
    .
    Kevin can we impeach him or petition Caviar OUT? He MUST go. Pedro i heard the "Touch of Class"is looking for a Mayor for their Dude Ranch and it doesn't require Residemcy!
