During a break and after the McHenry County Board meeting today, I asked a couple of members whose ambitions to move up are not exactly a secret whether they were running for County Clerk, now that long-time official Kathie Schultz has announced this will be her last term.
“No comment,” was the answer I got from both Nick Provenzano and Tina Hill.
However, when I went down to the McHenry County Clerk’s Office to get my petition to run for Republican Precinct Committeeman, to my surprise, I found that Mary McClellan had picked up petitions for County Clerk.
McClellan drew a two-year County Board term, so, if she decides to run for County Clerk, that would mean an opening will exist.
