Guest MINDSETTER™ Tom Kenney: Fire Pare
Monday, March 21, 2016
In light of recent accusations regarding Providence Commissioner of Public Safety Steven Pare being in violation of Federal FMLA (Family Medical Leave Act) laws in his disciplinary actions against the firefighters on the PFD, I feel compelled to report that this man has a history of badgering and bullying his subordinates. His arrogance and ego are legendary.
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.

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!
