Guest MINDSETTER™ Tom Kenney: Fire Pare
On December 7, 2015 the Providence Journal ran a front page article criticizing my service on the Providence Fire Department written by Mark Reynolds. I have already addressed the fact that most of the information in the article, provided by Pare and George Farel, was false. In his follow up Mr. Reynolds contacted me a couple of days before the article was scheduled to run. In our conversation Mr. Reynolds stated that he was looking at my injury reports as we spoke. When I asked how he had gotten these reports he stated that they were provided to him by Commissioner Pare.
These were my injury reports which detailed information regarding personal medical occurrences. This is a direct violation of the HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) laws.
GET THE LATEST BREAKING NEWS HERE -- SIGN UP FOR GOLOCAL FREE DAILY EBLASTI’ve been investigating my legal options regarding Mr. Pare’s violation of Federal HIPAA laws against me in the December 2015 article and his subsequent Op/Ed piece against me.
When looked at in wake of the Commissioner’s blatant disregard for the Federal FMLA laws it clearly shows the actions of a person who defiantly holds himself above the law. He needs to be stopped.
Once again I implore the members of the Providence City Council to reign in this “man out of control” and discipline him as he has so many others – fire him!
