Joliet City Councilman Bob O'derkirk walks in the Joliet Spanish parade, but not campaigning to be a councilman. Bob is running to be the next mayor of Joliet, IL. Bob a strong independent man, with high hopes came out on Saturday the 6th, 2014. While out walking he received many smiles and hand shakes, the current mayor Thomas Giarrante no where to be found. This can only leave one wondering where the city's mayor could be? While Bob was out making the community a better place, meeting and greeting his community, Tom was lost in a game of golf somewhere. Sad to see our own mayor again could not show up with out cameras and spotlight, but what more could we expect from the old guard of Joliet?
With high hopes for Bob, our staff watched as the entire parade passed, Bob being a candidate whom could not only re build Joliet, but possibly bring it back to life. After the loss of long time Mayor Art Schultz, Joliet is in need of real leadership. We will keep our eyes on the following months as other candidates start to announce their hopes to run as well.
