Don want trusty saying tonight that this is their last resort their last stance they cannot continue to stand by and see millions of dollars wasted Tiffany hener didn't show up in person but she was brought up in conversation and a vote motion passed to for resolution number 24-2 calling for investigation of Mayor Tiffany henyard the four trustee majority voting unanimously to call for an investigation into henyard and what they say is the misuse of funds the Board of Trustees has repeatedly as
ked for financial information that we feel is entitled and has been denied that information uh so we feel that we need to get intervention from somebody that can can that can force this kind of uh action who are you asking for for for that intervention what bodies uh we're asking the FBI State's Attorney attorney general and Cook County Sheriff's Office henyard became mayor in 2021 and for at least two of the three years Fox 32 has been reporting on allegations of corruption in her capacity as m
ayor and Thorton Township supervisor concerns have led to trustees calling special meetings to get things done this meeting is an attempt for um this legislative board to save dalon they voted on items including asking for receipts for the mayor's trips and getting key to Village Hall this has been a stain on our community it's no way that we should be locked out of a place where we pay taxes residents in attendance approving of the board's stance this has to stop she cannot continue to intimida
te and and and and and gangster her way through this we not giving up because we refuse to let um Tahoe Tiffany take our community I did reach out to the mayor for comment tonight I didn't hear back from her but through a PR Company I did hear back from the village administrator Keith Freeman he says in a statement quote this is just another example of a few trustees in the village of Dalton spreading lies and false allegations these are the same trustees that cut the public safety budget by $3.
8 million eliminated the bond for garbage removal and have charged over $5 million in frivolous lawsuits that the Dalton taxpayers are stuck with the tab the residents deserve better than this circus now the mayor vetos this resolution to investigate herself if she decides to veto that the board tells me they will override her veto live in dals with Matthews Fox 32 Chicago

DO NOT let her resign…investigate to the fullest extent of the law and throw her 🫏 in jail. Arrest and incarcerate.

@hipdwayne

This isn’t just a local shame, it’s been a national shame for the past 2 years

@callofdutywickedtiger8798

The mayor should be arrested and press charges

@id10t98

It's shocking that electing a known criminal would result in her doing more criminal activity.

@1a2b3c4.

Indict her immediately. Put her in prison and set an example.

@jameshouchins9469

Several years in prison and pay it all back! This happens all over the country when people in power aren't checked consistently!

@BERSERKERNA39

The chief of police and the entire police force should be fired for their roll in overtime abuse. 1 officer clocked 303 hrs in a 2 week paycheck. WHAT?!!

@imher2462

Shes done and going down‼️‼️ So all the trustee and the citzens lyin!? What a clown and disgrace😂

@reimagedmedia1955

The fact she can veto herself being investigated is comical lmao

@gregpresley1466

As a mayor, how can you "veto" an investigation of yourself? 🤣🤣🤣 ..The legal system is a joke.

@midnightdusk5037

Whatever they do, they better not get their police department to do the investigating. It's clear most of it is in Henyard's back pocket.

@dpepa8480

Why do they have to vote to investigate her? why doesn't the police and FBI just do what they are supposed to do.

@triton4395

Get the police department as well.🤔

@jeepernj99

This is who the people of Dolton voted for. Definitely getting what they voted for.

@robinpriego4453

How is this woman woman Tif not in jail???🤡🤡🤡

@dottiefrashure8457

Shout out to the Dolton Board and Trustees. Patriots and truth fighters, proud of you, from Oregon

@rickallen8767

Sounds like the Mayor AND the police dept need to be investigated. Great to see the council doing the right thing we need more politicians like them!

@fartdonkey8290

"you axed me a question and I responded"

@ThePastor_96

Well done to the trustees who are trying to save their community 👏

@Roastcrackling

Need to investigate the polce too and the DA
