Reckless Disregard with Employees' Personal Information

For those of you who didn't catch last evening's 6pm news on Channel 5.

http://www.ksdk.com/news/local/story.aspx?storyid=201150&catid=3

Only in the Mehlville Fire Protection District is this commonplace!

Mike, I think the Chief (Timbo) should give himself a written reprimand or a demotion. He has demoted and suspended employees for a lot less than he has done here. He wrote a letter to the employees stating he nows who did this, THEN FIRE YOURSELF. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE. Timbos world is crumbling, because he is way over his head. He should have stuck to halo.

Chief white should resign he has never even been close to what it takes to be a fire chief or captain . His terror tatics have cost jobs and property. this BOD needs to be disolved And investigated for any possible criminal actions

Everyone's personal information was posted on the MFPD website except the board members and their pay. Are they not part of the budget? How can you edit them out of the documents and not see everyone else’s Social Security numbers sitting there? Why was any of this information posted online, in the first place? I am sure we will find out all the answers and other facts when the call prints the court transcripts. Where is the Truth Detector when you need him? What a shame!

6:14 That's certainly an interesting observation about the board members being off the list. The Call will find a way to blame someone other than the board or administration for this.

Why didn't Nick Fahs notify Chief White when the problem was discovered? Instead he went to the media and endangered his members' information. Fahs obviously put politics and the union's hatred of the board above his members welfare. Fahs is the person who should resign.

They out the employees info out there but keep forgeting to post Board of Directors minutes, HMMMM

Whoever approved the posting (wonder who) is ultimately responsible. Blame shifting is not acceptable, sometimes you have to take the credit good or bad and deal with it, stop blaming everyone else. When you are the chief you are ALWAYS the chief 24 x 7 X 365.

Has anyone seen the blogs from the news story by Mike Owens on KSDK web site. These are from individuals that seen the story and form there own opinion. I heard from a firefighter that lives up the street from me that Hilmer and White was planning this blunder for a while.

I heard when the injured employees went to the hospital today, admitting told them they already had all their information from the districts website.

Wow Chief White I hope that the injured fireman is okay my heart goes out to him. What no famous quote from you to KSDK. I figured you and Mike Owens were buddies by now. Im sorry thats Mike Anthony. You know whats funny Tim is that I knew sooner or later someone would get hurt under your poor leadership. Resign Tim before someone gets killed. You have no business being in charge. Just ask God he will tell you.

Now that the damage is done, it is important to access the impact to your personal financial security. You must ask yourself, what can happen to me, now? Although, I am happy to see the district purchasing credit protection for all the employees and past employees which were exploited on their website. There is still a very important question that needs to be answered. How long does this protection last and how long will the district be offering this protection? This is a very big deal I am sure to everyone put at risk by the district. Hopefully, these questions are being asked by those involved.

I'm sure it will be the union's fault! Those bully, thug, haters!

Posting personal information such as social security #s, etc. is a violation of HIPAA laws. This is an extremely serious situation. The damage has been done and cannot be reversed. Interesting point: the BOD's information was not disclosed .. hhmmmm. There is most certainly a paper trail as to why this happened. This is a malicious criminal act that needs investigated ASAP. Now that social security #s are in the hands of the public -- this could snowball into devistation for some employees. DISBAND THIS BOD IMMEDIATELY!!!!

8:37 How do you know that Fahs didn't contact the Chief or even if the Chief was available? And why should anyone in the department trust anyone in the administration to do the right thing?

5:08 Your just Stupid And yes im going to watch you cry when your sued you little baby Mike asked us to be nice. So out of respect for him Ill not call you names.

8:37 If Fahs would have contacted White he would have been reprimanded. I know this for a fact because others that contacted the IDIOT have been reprimanded. How do you know that the Union went to the media, maybe it was one of the chief's or friends of one of the employees. It might have been that perfert Stonebraker trying to stir up the pot even more. I think Hilmer needs to put all of the connection from him and Stonebrakers in the hotline that have recieved perks in the insurance and other professional services. The local is not the problem in Mehlville its the crap bums that are running the place.

May 3, 2010 8:37 AM, YOU MUST BE AN IDIOT!!! This posting of the MFPD’s employee’s personal information was very unethical and even criminal. Don’t blame Mr. Fahs for not running to the same people that did this crime! These people ARE NOT trusted by their own employees! Gross negligence is the only way you can describe what has happened! To quote May 3, 2010 6:14 AM. Can anyone explain why the MFPD would post this information without knowing all the information it contains in the first place? I believe the Attorney General should be contacted and have this one added to the list! This IS NOT premier!

Poor fireman, indeed. If he thinks this stinking BOD will stand behind him in his time of need, he's an idiot. He's just become a liability to this department's bottom line and that's all Hilmer gives a crap about

Anonymous said...

A premier Fire Chief would have known what was on these documents before he posted them! Did he??? The Fire Chief should step down before he ruins his career and life. Now is the time to save yourself!

Just read mr.anthonys article,You all wer'e right hilmer blames the union. he wants us to believe the bod or the chief knew nothing when i would guess the board and chief made the decision to post this info,And then never botherd to check and see if it was done.kinda funny huh? just maybe if the bod and chief would have an open comunication with their employees who knows? And talk about stiring the pot AARON why was this even posted, its public info any body can request there pay minus personal info, So I ask why aaron? mr anthony see my name!

"The board had no idea this was going on. The chief didn't have any idea this was going on. The only person who knew these were on here — and I believe it was an accident — was the district comptroller. And to even insinuate that Chief White would somehow do this on purpose is asinine because his numbers were out there too for everybody to see.'' - MFPD Board of Directors Chairman Aaron Hilmer

When the smoke clears the BOD is responsible for everything that occurs within the fire district. This link may offer son insight into the party line that is being dispensed by his highness:

Anyone notice when the MFPD makes a mistake all of a sudden that rag of a paper always comes to the rescue with the same Mike Anthonys Blog editorial. and look a brand new hotline 9700 dollars a page so the hot line must cost pretty near 40 grand right Mikey boy. tgats my Tax Dollars going to keep your arnold livining ass fed. And I would give my name but you know how timmy is a vengful little devil and you never know what he will do to punish the fireman, Just look what he is doing to ehe captains for not leaving the union 2 day rotation at all houses wow if thats not a recipie for disaster. hey mike your not convincing anyone.inon
