    Has anyone been following this shitshow? I've been following for the past month and it's wild. Tiffany Henyard (Self proclaimed Super Mayor, City Girl Mayor, The People's Mayor) is both the mayor of Dolton (near Chicago) and the Thorton Township supervisor. I don't even know where to start. She uses the handpicked Dalton police for private security. They pick her up in the morning and bring her to work, to run errands and get lunch, and then they drive her home. She takes them out of town with her on her trips.

    One of the officers clocked in 303 hours in a 2 week pay period. There are 336 hours in 2 weeks. Businesses that do not support her allege that she uses the police to harass them. When she's not having the police target businesses and people who don't support her, she does it her self. The board approved a salary increase to the deputy clerk, but Henyard ordered not to implement the raise because the deputy clerk is not among her supporters.

    She has her own DJ that she brings into town hall meetings. She dressed as a character from the movie New Jack City, a crack dealer, for a city hall meeting. She locks the trustees out of the meetings. She is refusing to supply the board with spending expenses.

    She's using the village credit cards for whatever she wants. Racking up huge bills in places like Vegas, flying first class, expensive restaurant bills, you name it. When it was brought up, she had a hat from one of the restaurants on her podium beside her. She spent $149,000 of taxpayer money on a leased Tahoe.

    She hired one of her close friends, a registered Chi Se Offender, as a code inspector without the board's approval. He spent 25 years in prison for it. He is paid with tax money to roam the streets of Dolton. She refuses to fire him despite outcries from the public.

    She has had her name printed on everything. Buildings, billboards, rugs, etc. It's Everywhere.

    The Dalton median income is $24,000. Henyard makes $285,000 between her two government jobs. There is a 7-million-dollar deficit in Dalton.

    Is anyone else following this?

    Seems like plenty of state and federal crimes could apply on that personal spending.

    Demanding loyalty. Placing criminals and family in key govt positions they aren’t qualified for. Running charity scams. Using her own office to grift. Trolling opponents with billboards. Intimidating non-loyalists. Actually, her “governance” style seems Trump-like more than anything.

    But I don’t think people like this actually give a shit about actual partisan policy issues. It’s just straight up political grift.

    If this is all true, which seems likely - she needs to be kicked out of office and charged with what I can only imagine to be a laundry list of crimes.

    I would be fine with charging her with what we convict trump of. It seems fitting.

    Zero links in the OP unless I missed it.

    With different phrasing the OP’s write up isn’t as sensational
    1. Desanits travels with security, even out of town, even campaigning.
    2. How she dresses, and whether she has a DJ at her meetings is irrelevant
    3. Not giving a raise to subpar employees is normal
    4. Travel expenses plague Desanits and Trump and Biden
    5. Credit cards for “whatever she wants” wasn’t very specific since it listed dinners after
    6. Desantis hired all his friends
    7. Maybe the time clock for the cop caught up for weeks already worked - I dont know.

    Other than the fact she is eccentric and perhaps a black female I dont see how she is any different from Desantis. Now, if she is embezzling that’s different but I dont see any non-fox stations claiming that. Open to being corrected.

    If she married Eric Adams, they could be the a power couple of America's shittiest (and most hilarious) mayors.

    WOW
    King of Whataboutisms.
    Way to defend your team. You go, you big cheerleader you! Yeah team!!!
    Glad to see so many others calling out graft and corruption and being willing to put it behind bars when and where it occurs. Of course some..just want to point to the other side and say what about… and then hint that racism is a motivating factor ( when they are the only ones bringing up race.)
    Could dad4x and City be the same guy losing as different sides of the same coin??? Has anyone ever seen them both in the same room at the same time?

    Also, I sort of assume that his is how literally every small town government operates in America. Except maybe the DJ thing, its probably some lame prayer session instead in most cases.

    Wow. On top of everything else, her salary as supervisor of Thornton is $224,000/year. She just got an ordinance passed that if a non-incumbent gets that position, the salary drops to $25K.

    Lock her up.
