Since it reopened, Pho Lime has received positive comments online.

“Family dinner at Pho Lime tonight was excellent!” a resident wrote on the “TakeOut 25-Elmhurst” Facebook page. “Teens had sandwiches that were large, so leftovers for tomorrow. Hubby had a pho bowl and the broth was rich and tasty.”

MICHELLE CASALINO

Michelle Casalino was appointed to the town council in 2015 and was elected in November 2016 to a four-year term. She was re-elected in 2020 and previously served as council president. Learn more about this candidate and her platform here.

Casalino has also served as a member of the West Orange Board of Education (including as the board president). She is currently serving as the liaison to the school board, the West Orange Public Relations Commission and the Downtown West Orange Alliance, and is the town liaison to senior citizen housing complex, the Degnan House. She sits on the board of trustees to the Friends of West Orange Public Library and is a member of West Orange/Orange UNICO, and the West Orange Arts Council.

A lifelong West Orange resident and longtime community advocate, Casalino has volunteered with local Girl Scout and Cub Scout troops, and has helped to fundraise for the PTAs at Redwood, Edison, Liberty and West Orange High School.

Casalino has more than 35 years of mortgage banking and account development experience. She holds an insurance producer’s license with the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance, and is a certified title insurance officer.

JOE KRAKOVIAK

Joe Krakoviak is a former town council member who spent 10 years on the dais, including a stint as council president. He ran for West Orange mayor in 2022, getting 2,965 votes in a tight four-way race that was eventually won by Susan McCartney.

A business communications consultant, Krakoviak has worked as a financial journalist at The Wall Street Journal (stringer) and USA Today, and founded West Orange Grassroots, a non-partisan website providing transparency on municipal finances, redevelopment and council meetings.

Krakoviak said his online campaign presence for 2024 is still in development, but gave Patch the following statement about his platform on Wednesday:

“My platform continues to be improved quality of life, fiscal responsibility, transparency and accountability, and smart economic development. We need to reprioritize the budget to get our financial house in order so we can make West Orange an even better place to live and raise a family. Since I left the council in 2020, the town’s finances have declined significantly. Debt has skyrocketed 49 percent, up a breathtaking $56 million to $169.5 million in only three years. The town has borrowed at historically high interest rates. As a result, nearly 12 percent of this year’s budget spending – $11.6 million – is going to partially pay debt service. We’re not buying anything with this money, only paying for past spending. In the last three budgets, spending (called appropriations in the budget) has risen $23 million, up 25 percent, to $113 million. We’ve exceeded the state’s 2 percent cap on property tax increases twice and will likely do so again this year. This hurts property values – as you can see by the town’s tax base declining by nearly $100 million 2021-2023 … We need new council members who prioritize financial strength over reckless spending and borrowing as the most important way to make our town an even better place to live.”

JONATHAN REDWINE

Jonathan Redwine is a longtime West Orange resident and attorney who specialized in regulatory law and securities litigation. He has earned degrees from Emory University School of Law in Georgia and the University of Denver. Learn more about this candidate and his platform here.

A U.S. Peace Corps volunteer who served in Cameroon, Redwine previously worked as an attorney with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as a law firm in New York and with public companies before retiring in 2021.

He managed former councilwoman’s Cindy Matute-Brown’s successful campaign for West Orange Town Council in 2018, later serving on the local zoning board of adjustment for three years. Redwine has served on the West Orange Cannabis Task Force and Advisory Committee and the West Orange Environmental Commission.

Redwine’s other volunteer work and community service has included membership on the West Orange Scholarship Committee, the Climate Reality Project and the board of Moore Love.

JOYCE RUDIN

Joyce Rudin has a master’s degree in journalism from Northwestern University and is a former journalist with NPR and on-air reporter for PBS. She currently works as a financial administrator. Learn more about this candidate and her platform here.

Rudin has served on the township’s Open Space and Recreation Commission, chaired the Coalition to Save South Mountain, and is a co-founder of Our Green West Orange, a local environmental advocacy group. She is pledging not to accept campaign contributions from “anyone seeking a contract with the town.”

Rudin has also worked for New York-based City Harvest and participated in Operation Solomon, among other community work.

“People really want change,” Rudin recently told Patch. “They see their property taxes rising, council members bickering among themselves and chaotic development that causes congestion and increases the risks of flooding and property damage.” >> See Related: Joyce Rudin Launches Bid For West Orange Town Council

We surveyed readers about their favorite new and longstanding restaurants. In the longstanding restaurants category, restaurants receiving multiple nominations were Vienna Inn, Anita’s New Mexican Style Food, Cafe Renaissance, The Virginian, Pazzo Pomodoro, Plaka Grill and Ristorante Bonaroti.
