  • The Will County Board selected Sherry Williams of Crest Hill as Democratic leader and Jim Richmond of Mokena as Republican leader.

The article from the Chicago Tribune, published on December 2, 2024, discusses a significant political shift in Will County, Illinois, where the Democratic majority on the Will County Board has replaced Steve Balich, the Republican leader, with a new Democratic speaker. This change comes after the Democrats gained control of the board in the recent elections, marking a pivotal moment in the county's political landscape. The new speaker, whose name is not mentioned in the summary, aims to steer the county towards policies focusing on economic development, environmental sustainability, and social equity. The article highlights the contentious nature of this transition, with Balich expressing concerns over the potential for partisan gridlock and the loss of bipartisan cooperation that had previously characterized the board's operations.
