Dolton Residents Call for Mayor Tiffany Henyard to Step Down

Residents of Dolton, Illinois, are demanding that Mayor Tiffany Henyard resign as she faces allegations of sexual assault and embezzlement. A mob of 100 protesters disrupted a village board meeting where residents testified against Henyard, accusing her of misuse of taxpayer money, firing an employee who made sexual assault claims, and creating a $2 million deficit in the village’s finances. The board had planned to override Henyard’s veto of an investigation into her actions, but the meeting was cut short due to threats, prompting four trustees to walk out in protest. Henyard denies all accusations and claims they are part of a smear campaign against her. The mayor’s three-year tenure has been marred by corruption accusations, with residents calling her the “worst mayor in America.” A former supporter described her as a “tyrant and dictator” who shut out the community upon taking office. The Village of Dolton did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Henyard’s future as mayor remains uncertain as the community continues to demand her resignation amid growing scandals and public backlash.
