Controversy

In 2001, while serving as mayor of Eagan, Anderson was criticized for allegedly racist comments made in an interview with Minneapolis/St. Paul newsweekly City Pages. Anderson was quoted as saying "This is where all of our crime is [...] It’s mostly African Americans fighting with African immigrants. It’s everything–drugs, assaults, knife fights. We had to have a police presence here." [http://citypages.com/databank/22/1068/article9567.asp]
