For A Better Harrison

08/15/2024

As the Mayoral Election date approached in 2022, a flyer and letter were distributed via email lists by the Director of Harrison Public Schools / Councilman James Doran who was up for re-election along with Mayor James Fife.

What The Letter & Flyer Stated

The letter signed by “Jim Doran, Council President, Town of Harison” and also “James P. Doran, Ed.D”. with Doran’s Town of Harrison address, email and phone number stated that Doran had been approached by many Harrison Residents regarding a recent talk of “Dredging” the Passaic River at the PSE&G site in Harrison and stated that “Once again Milan (sic) and Pinho are trying to create an issue that does NOT exist. Quite honestly, there is just no truth to this story. This is clearly a made-up fictitious story by Pinho and Millan to scare you into voting for Millan.”
The letter goes on to state: “I can say with 100% surety that there are NO plans to ‘Dredge’ or place any toxic waste anywhere in Harrison. They are trying to scare the people with lies and made-up stories at election time! The people have had enough of their lies and scare tactics. I am sure the Fife Team will again expose them for the lies they tell. Just like the recent story of Millan yelling about the fire department was completely made up by the person who told it! Pinho. He doesn’t live in Harrison, but surely would like to have Millan appoint him to a legal position- even though he was fired in the past.”

Knowledge of Falsehood From The Head of The Harrison Public Schools

At the time James Doran made the above statements he knew they were false. Doran the Harrison Public School Director of Personnel and its former Superintendent of Harrison’s Public School outright lied to residents using both his Harrison Public Schools Director of Personnel and Councilman James Doran title. Doran knew that Mayor Fife’s statement at the August 29, 2022 Harrison Redevelopment Agency meeting was the truth. Doran confirmed Mayor Fife’s statement one month later at the September 2022 Mayor & Council Meeting by stating that every town had to have “some skin in the game” for EPA’s Passaic River cleanup. Harrison’s “skin in the game” was a Toxic Sludge Dewatering plant in a residential community.

Ironically, Doran stated in his emailed letter that the Fife Team would expose the lies they (Millan & Pinho) tell. Doran wrote the latter sentence with full knowledge that he was the one lying to the residents of Harrison to the detriment of the community. Quite a deviation from ethical rules governing elected officials and educators in the State of New Jersey.

Ferry Service from Harrison to NYC is a great idea.

The most densely populated county in New Jersey is daring to go where no ferries have gone before.

Mayor James Fife and Council members changed the Ambulance Service from the MONOC Ambulance service and Harrison Fire Department EMT service to the St. Clare Hospital Ambulance Service. You might be wondering what’s St. Clare’s Hospital from Denville NJ (over 30 minutes from Harrison). St. Clare’s is owned by the same company that owns the St. Michael’s Hospital in Newark. The St. Clare’s Ambulance service promised in its contract with the town to transport residents to the hospital of their choice but has failed to do so.
