Team Fife Victory Party June of 2018 where Mayor James Fife thanks the Harrison Town Clerk for “lots and lots of work” he did on behalf of Fife Team. The problem with thanking the Town Clerk for all his help is the Town Clerk is the election official and is supposed to be neutral. Doing “lots and lots of work” for one side violates is oath of office.

 

Mayor Fife Knew About the Plan to Dump Toxic Sludge in Harrison But Hid it from Residents, then Denied He Did, But Refused Opportunity to State His Position on EPA Dumping.

EPA Email Confirming PSEG to be Used for Worse of Agent Orange Sludge

Statement on Facebook to Posts Attacking John M. Pinho on his revealing Mayor Fife’s play to accept toxic Agent Orange calling it a lie. The memo and highlighted section confirm what Mr. Pinho stated at the Mayor & Council Meeting of September 20, 2022 (video above).

Mayor Fife called me (and Anselmo Millan) a Liar. His supporters repeat that I'm a Liar. Mayor Fife stated on August 29, 2022, at the Harrison Redevelopment Agency meeting the following “Of course you have the biggest piece Public Service, the EPA is holding that up. We were going to do some planning over there but the EPA is going to using it for the [Passaic] river dredge [aka sludge]. We don’t know how long that is going to be it could be 10 years. But It is up to EPA and PSE&G to decide what is going on there.” The meeting was recorded on Zoom and this can be confirmed as I provided the Video of the Meeting. The Mayor at the Mayor and Council meeting of September 20, 2022 was ready with a prepared statement by the Town Attorney but I let him finish and asked whether the Mayor and/or the Council had a position on the dumping of toxic Agent Orange sludge at PSEG Gas Works in Harrison. That meeting is also on video and available to review. I am not making anything up. I urge everyone reading this to take time tonight to go to www.ForABetterHarrison.com/press-1 and review the section on Stop the sludge. Three videos. The statement I quoted above at the Harrison Redevelopment Meeting. Then a 2-minute of highlights someone put together and sent me of the September 20, 2022, Mayor & Council meeting and then the same meeting but the original I posted. Let me be clear. Let me say it loudly. Mayor Fife knew about what was coming and stated it in his own words. EPA has confirmed what he said. Yeh, the contracts have not been finalized. Yeh, the plans have not been finalized. What Mayor leads on the EPA to think that dumping toxic Agent Orange in Harrison on a site that has just been decontaminated to the tune of 31 million dollars is suitable to dump toxic cancer-causing sludge that is so special that it needs additional air monitoring and noise control built into the plan. It makes me sick that a former Harrison Fife Chief and his assistants are twisting the facts that clearly say Mayor Fife knew and would have approved everything to the detriment of the Harrison residents' health. PSEG is for Green space and a community center (Mayor Fife says to do some planning over there) It is the final piece of the Harrison Redevelopment Plan that Mayor Fife is the Chairman of and the Mayor of Harrison. It will bring the North and South of Harrison together as a community and solve the flooding in SOHA. Mayor McDonough and Peter Higgins and the council members who first came up with the plan would want me to continue to fight this Evil. I am attaching copies of the same memo and the quote where it says what EPA wants to do. What is going into PSEG is far worse than what is already terrible Agent Orange sludge proposed to go to PVSC. Exercise your right to vote and vote for Anselmo Millan for Mayor on the right column on the Ballot Column H. H for a Better Harrison. We will not go back to a contaminated section of Town. It is now residential.

 

Mayor Fife Lies on Anselmo Millan’s Record

Pre Anselmo Millan announcement that he was running for Mayor, Mayor James Fife praised him for his tireless work. Now Mayor Fife through surrogates is on Facebook stating that Anselmo does nothing for his community. The opposite is the truth. See Record of Accomplishments.

Flooding on SOHA Section of Harrison NJ along South Frank E. Rodgers Blvd near Path Station.

Watch the Video from 2017 where Mayor James Fife praises Anselmo Millan. When Anselmo announced he was running for Mayor, Mayor Fife made derogatory statements about Anselmo and locked his Councilman’s office in the Senior Citizen Center in Harrison under false pretenses but later admitted within 30 minutes of his Deposition in the Federal Civil Rights Complaint brought by Anselmo Millan against him, that he locked Millan out of his Councilman’s office because he was running against him for Mayor. A planned 2 hour deposition turned in a 1/2 hour deposition based on Fife’s admission. A clear violation of Millan’s constitutional right to run for office. Source: Deposition of Mayor James A. Fife

Anselmo Millan’s Record of Accomplishments

Green Spaces including Playgrounds are an important part of Quality of Life for Harrisonians.

Link to Anselmo Millan’s Record of Accomplishment.

Among the many accomplishments, Anselmo Millan founded the Harrison Fest Committee Inc. to celebrate the diversity of Harrison’s residents. A Grand Street Parade and Street Festival along Harrison Avenue is only two of the events that Harrison Fest put together for the community. There is also a Queens Gala and leading up to Thanksgiving Day, a Turkey Dinner Drive that provides a full family meal with all the fixings to families in need. A Holiday Party with Santa Claus was continued on a scaled down basis post Covid.
