Kevin, this issue is far for being a "little thing." There're soooo many "little things" involving Pedro Corrupt Segarra and they all add up to millions of dollars. I also don't think your 'offer' of a $19k Impala is right. What's wrong with a Ford Focus, Toyota Yaris or similar, after all the chief doesn't carry any fire equipment, the fire trucks do. Huertas is FD Chief, not Secretary of Homeland Security. Since when do we have to shuttle his family in a luxury SUV?

It is unmarked and tinted out so nobody knows its Charlie sneaking around Hartford looking for Companies out of there first due area. He then calls Dist. 1 and has him take care of it. You then get a call saying an "anonymous citizen complaint" was made that you were out of your area from the D/C. None of the citizens know our first due areas, its Charlie complaining.
Also, who is the woman that ALWAYS accompanies Charlie when he is patrolling? Maybe another reason for the blacked out windows? Guess he didn't learn from the Waller/Borges MVA.
He is always on "red light" patrol too. He accuses companies of running red lights when he has no clue which lights have green arrows. He nails companies from his office at HQ on High Street. I guess he can see the whole city from his office chair.
There is no reason for him to have such a fancy, expensive car.

City vehicles SUPPOSE to be MARKED, check the policy. Remember about 5 years ago when that was SUPPOSED to be implemented based on Vehicles out of City limits. Our fine, fierce leader Pedro is breaking the Law, it is a State Law, that extra tint job we paid for is ILLEGAL. No problem, Pedro does not have to abide by the LAW or even know it, after all he didn't know soliciting prostitutes was illegal either, even when he was prosecuting them.

Pedro's MO; DO AS I SAY, NOT AS I DO!!!

Listen people this was needed, Huertas is hot on the case undercover, he's looking for those establishments that are selling lighters, he has in his intelligent thorough investigation figured out that was the deadly weapon used in the latest ring of fires, he's hot on the trail of the thugs, he has identified the gang, known as "Los Lighters:, He'S Close in cracking this case. Surely with his Bat Mobile, he will be victorious; TO THE BAT CAVE WE GO!!!!

Kevin, is the attached photo the actual vehicle purchased/given to Huertas? Could you FOI the DMV and check the registration for this vehicle # 4AN - EJO. After all, it may have been purchased personally by Huertas. You know, there's a 2009 Honda CRV under a "Carlos M Huertas" registered in Hartford, maybe, just maybe, Huertas bought and paid for this fancy, luxury stealth himself.

If Huertas wants to get his dept. back on track, the best thing from him to do right now is say it was a mistake, he's returning this $70K+ car and starting to drive a smaller, more efficient car. Maybe then the public will take him more seriously.

This really cracks me up, Charlie with a new Tahoe, people you think this is something new with the City, because it isn't, I could remember as a youngster, my next door neighbors father worked for L & I and this was maybe 40 years or so, her father had a brand new City car, use to come home during lunch time, park in his driveway, stay there until 3p.m. sometimes go back to work, and some times not. Then there was the former Mayor Athenson, when he lived on Hillside Ave, had a nice car to drive around in. Then the FD, well back then the Fire Chief had drivers, then somewhere during the end with C/Stewart they stopped having drivers, so he use to drive himself around in his assign vehicle which was a new one, every Chief of the FD had a newer one, so why not Charlie. This is nothing new to the City. just saying.....

why only Huertas? Segarra should buy EVERY head of department a fully loaded, leather seats, tinted windows, Chevy Tahoe. how many Tahoes are we talking about, 10, maybe 20. what's the big deal, just $70,000+ each. Segarra can afford it, using Dunkin Donuts naming rights money, and if he still doesn't know what the deal is with DD, then ok, he can use taxpayers, which he uses anyway he wishes no matter what.

Let's be honest here: Huertas is trying to do his job, but he's really the victim here, victim of Segarra and Kee-Borges (remember her?). The 2 manipulators, Segarra and SKB, appointed Huertas to become chief in the condition that he appoints the unqualified Terry Waller, so Terry could be later the chief himself. We're all lucky to have Terry out of High St, but we still pay for his "injury" in an accident while driving a car he should have never been allowed to be behind the wheel.
This is all filthy, dirty politics orchestrated by Pedro Caviar Segarra and SKB.
Now, we should give Huertas a chance to come out clean, tell us the facts, the real facts as he knows, and let him do his job, restructuring the FD.

Huertas couldn't organize a desk drawer never mind the fire dept. Who do you think you're kidding. He had the chance to stand up for himself and show a backbone plenty of times and he failed. How many chances does he have to have. I heard his contract is up. Get rid of him. Are you going to extend his contract because of the "great" job he's doing. He's been a disgrace since the minute he stepped out of the elevator on the second floor of High Street. The direction of the Dept. is obviously opposite the one he's taken. Good riddance. Goodbye.

What a minute. Did I read this right that the city "bought" the fire chief's car? What happened to leasing? OMG, I am up in arms over this.

What does it mean to be "up in arms?" Does it indicate a surrender? Or does it mean raising a rifle because there is nothing remaining to do?

Politically speaking, the primary is between Judge Killian and Luke may bet Pedro. Here is the breakdown. The judge will get the elderly vote. He will get any remaining republican turned democrat vote. He will split the black vote with Luke but if Bob eats his way through select locations on the mostly north side of town, and I have no reason to believe he won't, he will win their hearts, minds and stomachs. Bob will not get the Latin vote. But Pedro won't get all of it either. Joel will take support perhaps just enough away from Segarra to give the primary to Bob. And hey, everyone likes a guy name "Bob." Right?

Bob Killian for Mayor.

Paid for by Republicans for Bob.

Here is a link to the Fresno, Calif. fire department, who had a Fire Captain severely burnt over 65%, when he fell through the burning roof and was consumed by fire, and it shows just how much the Chief of Department and the members have done for him and his family, from painting their home, to installing central air, to just being there, almost anything to make it comfortable for him and his family.

Fresno Fire Captain Pete Dern walks out and addresses the media | abc30.com
