Major Upset in Orange Election as Two Incumbents Lose Council Seats

Genuinely wasn't something I was expecting to happen, but the fact we kicked out two incumbents last night, particularly the one who was holding the seat for twenty damn years, feels meaningful (Eason's been especially keeping the town down, was the deciding vote against dispensaries in the town, has been especially willing to give 20 year tax abatements to all the luxury apartments popping up). This feels like actual....hope in change coming to the town, instead of just stagnation? Weird Feeling, but it's a good one.

All that's left is dealing with the at-large council members and our shady ass mayor.

This feels pretty definitive on New Jersey Public News. Like even if WNET does start airing Spotlight News, if they’re not giving it studio space I guess it’ll just be remote indefinitely?

Not Major compared to like, middle class suburban stuff but the idea of seeing a Burlington in downtown East Orange even a few years ago, couldn’t imagine it (could imagine the rainbow though) How Times Change.
