I hope Freeman takes Caceras to Small Claims Court to get his money back. His son should have been left rotting in jail. Caceres only got the job because he was a Perez crony.

My understanding is that the loan was eventually repaid, but I think it also raises an ethical issue of a superior borrowing money from a subordinate. Was there any chance that Freeman felt intimidated to loan the money, knowing thatt Caseras potentially controlled his career future?

We lost a good Chief in Freeman because the city protected Casares knowing that he has mental issues. Freeman was a fire chief when he came to hartford and is going back to being a fire chief in texas. How long will the city keep "crazy eddie" as the top firefighter in the city? Freeman should have been the next fire chief for hartford.

From my understanding Chief Freeman holds a PHD in fire science or public safety one or the other. He was more than qualified to be the chief in Hartford everyone knows that. Casares was intimidated by this man but it did not matter because Pedro has Casares back. Only reason Casares got the job was because Eddie wanted to appoint the first Latino fire chief in the city and he knew Casares ( with all his bagage) would be beholding to him. I see it this way there is no difference between Pedro and Eddie both have large egos and have their community best interest as the number one priority. I hear former councilman Steve Harris is all upset now because his buddy Freeman was forced out by Casares with help from the city ie Pedro and human resources. Best thing for Freeman is to leave Hartford. With friends like Steve Harris who sold out his own community and was one of the biggest supports of Pedro what did you think was going to happen? lololo .... Hey Steve I thought you had some juice with Pedro and Casares lololo lesson learned no one respects a sell out!!!! The people you sell out to respect you even less than your own. I thought you knew!!!

So let me get this straight, the fire chief, in charge of the entire capitol city dept, who probably makes in excess of 150k a year, take home car, gas, etc, needs a loan to get his son out of jail??????
If the fire chief can keep his own finances in check, and needs a loan of 5k, then there is a serious problem....am I wrong to say this that maybe there needs to be more dept heads held to a higher standard...

The citys new incompetent HR Director Valda Washington that Pedro appointed is stealing from the city by eating lunches on the citys dime. Which is probably why she messed up Freemans hostile work environment complaint. She did pedros bidding and protected casares to try and keep her job safe. pedro just lost the votes in the north end by trying to save casares. Shawn Wooden will be the next mayor.

If you don't like Casares personally, fine. If you don't like the way he performs as chief, fine. Was the fact that his son got arrested for narcotics relevant to your story? No, it wasn't - only the loan was. Dragging someone's child's troubles into the mix wasn't necessary to get your point across - it was CRUEL and constituted idle gossip. It showed a lack of class, was cheesy and you should be ashamed of yourself. I'm fairly certain that you're not though.

I have no problem with Chief Casares personally. The arrest of his son was the reason he needed the loan from Chief Freeman and was very important to explain as part of his behavior. I didn't force Casares to make an unethical decision to solicit a loan from a subordinate. If anyone should be ashamed of their behavior it should be Chief Casares, not me.

Everyone knows in the dept that Casares is a freakin mental case and has major psychological issues, but the mayor seems to like him. Casares could not find water if he jumped in the river. Its a shame that this guy, who cant even keep his finances in order is the cheif. COMPLETE EMBARASSMENT!!!!!!!

Time is tickin for some, including that complete embarassment valda washington who can barely tell time, yet thinks she can interpret trial law, where do you get your advise from, the muppet show, it will be funny how the city will be paying settlement checks until the year 2050!!!!

Chief Caseras is a good man, his ethics are of the highest, and it seems that some are jelous of his power and his authority. He is the leader of the fire dept, and all need to respect him or go to suffield volunteer dept and bake pies........
