Will County Executive Chief Of Staff Nick Palmer Dispels Rumors

Will County Executive Chief of Staff Nick Palmer who is running to succeed his boss Larry Walsh, addresses rumors that he wants to become the next City manager of Joliet. When asked directly by Scott Slocum he answer emphatically, “no.” Palmer says he’s flattered considering the 15 years he’s worked with the City of Joliet helping to bring such projects to fruition as the new courthouse and doing it in a fiscally responsible way.  But Palmer says the mayor of Joliet has never spoken to him about the job. Palmer is running in the Democratic March Primary  on March 17th against State Senator Jennifer Bertino-Tarrant.
