Former Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot exposed Dolton, Illinois, Mayor Tiffany Henyard in what can only be described as an “explosive” report. Lightfoot was hired by the Dolton Board of Trustees after several months of unruly meetings and protests over Henyard’s behavior. The findings of this report were released during a meeting that was open to the public and televised. Audible gasps and chattering were heard when Lightfoot revealed the extent of Henyard’s obvious corruption. One of the biggest reactions was to $40,000 of city funds being spent by the Mayor on Amazon purchases.
Dolton traveled the country, taking lavish trips on the taxpayer’s dime. One Atlanta trip cost nearly $10,000. Two Dolton police officers recieved $300,000 in overtime. These officers often served as Henyard’s personal bodyguards and chauffers. Comments from village residents ranged in various degrees of disgust and embarrassment. Federal agents have already visited Dolton over this issue. Prison time for Henyard is most likely and well-deserved.
