Today, Councilman Anselmo Millan has the experience of over 26 years as a Councilman of Harrison.  Back in 1997, the Rutgers University courses gave him a good footing but experience taught him a lot more.  Councilman Millan has not been afraid to disagree with Mayor Fife or his few council members.  Councilman Millan in an article entitled “Millan rejoins Harrison Council” published in the Kearny Weekly stated “Disagreements are healthy.  It’s how we discuss new ideas.  I’m going to give my voice to work with this mayor and council”.  Raymond and Anselmo had a very public disagreement on several issues regarding the future of Harrison, many centering around the Redevelopment Zone. Ultimately, the two men reconciled and continued to service the residents of Harrison, Harrisonians.
