Hosey: Christmas spirit abounds at City Hall

There can never be enough goodwill in this world. And that’s why it has been so inspirational to see Joliet’s own interim city manager doing so much for so many, even with the holidays nearly two months off. Interim City Manager Jim Hock may as well be Father Christmas himself, bestowing gifts on those in need left and right with no apparent thought for himself, throwing money around as if it was candy from a parade float, or even loaves of Milano bread. Why, just last week Hock went ahead and gifted a now-retired police officer with thousands of dollars. (Shaw Media)
