DOLTON, Ill. (WLS) — Dolton Mayor Tiffany Henyard was a no-show at a special meeting called by village trustees, where they took sweeping action to limit spending, grant business licenses and approve a new firefighter’s contract.
While Henyard was not present, she was still the target of scathing public comment.
“We have been fighting this demon for the last three years, and I did call her a demon, and I meant what I said, and I said what I meant,” said one resident in attendance.
“I’m not going to stop until she’s behind bars,” said another.
Without Henyard present, the trustees took sweeping action, approving a temporary moratorium on travel and meal reimbursement for elected officials and employees, amending rules on check signing requirements, and approving 18 business licenses that trustees said had been held up.
The board also approved a new firefighter contract that it negotiated with its attorney through 2027 after the union went without one for four years.
