Controversial Dolton Mayor Tiffany Henyard clashes with board over spending: ‘I don’t see you doing nothing’

SOUTH HOLLAND, Ill. (CBS) — There was further drama in Chicago's southern suburbs on Tuesday evening when the self-proclaimed “super mayor” Tiffany Henyard clashed with colleagues over expenses.

At a meeting Tuesday night, the Thornton Township Board of Directors looked on in disbelief as Henyard, the township supervisor, spoke passionately about the spending.

“You just want to stop things here in Thornton Township, because I don't see you doing nothing,” Henyard told the trustees. “But you've started rejecting everything that I and our team are proposing – and I don't see any ideas from any of you.”

Henyard is currently under investigation for her handling of village finances in her role as mayor of Dolton.

Henyard is currently under investigation for her handling of the village's finances. Former Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot is leading the investigation in Henyard and found last month that the Dolton Village General Fund had Negative balance of $3.65 million.

In the meantime The FBI is conducting an investigation at the Dolton Village Hall, although it was not specified who is being investigated. Henyard must cooperate if the FBI asks questions about the village's finances.
