EMBATTLED ‘DOLTON DICTATOR’ TIFFANY HENYARD, ACCUSED MISUSING FUNDS FOR LAVISH
TRIPS AND $1M SECURITY DETAIL, VETOES PROBE INTO HER SPENDING

By Ronny Reyes

Published March 6, 2024, 8:14 a.m. ET

Self-described “super mayor” Tiffany Henyard vetoed a resolution seeking to
investigate her spending following allegations that she misused taxpayer money
on lavish trips and her own $1 million police detail.

The Dolton, Illinois, village board unanimously voted to open a probe into
Henyard, calling on her to submit the village’s financial records and inviting
the FBI to conduct its own investigation.

Henyard, however, issued a veto on Monday, claiming the resolution was the
result of personal attacks against her and stemmed from one-sided narratives.

“As you can see, our village, our community, myself, we are under attack,”
Henyard said at the village board meeting. “It’s a shame that people can come to
meetings and just tell one side of the stories and not get the entire side of
both stories.”

She claimed that the village board was “a boys club” that doesn’t want women
like her leading, with Henyard vowing to “fight back” against the alleged smear
campaign against her.

“I’m going to always fight for what’s right, and I always stay the course. And I
will be victorious when all the dust clears,” she added.

During the village board meeting, the embattled mayor also admitted to a $2
million deficit, with Dolton owing more than $427,000 for street paving and
another $400,000 for tree-trimming services, local WGN 9 reports.

Members of the village board, who vowed to override her veto during next month’s
meeting, claimed that the deficit was millions more than Henyard’s estimates.

“The mayor can blame everybody for what’s going on, but she has to look at
herself,” former trustee Edward Steave said during Monday’s heated meeting.

Vivian Allen was among the residents who came out to criticize the mayor,
echoing calls from the village board for her to step down to save Dolton’s
finances.

“You lied to us as residents. You do not, you do not stand for me,” she said.
“And I want you to step down as mayor today and save our village from this
deficit you have caused.”

While the village has yet to formally invite the FBI to investigate Henyard,
federal investigators are allegedly already in Dolton questioning the mayor’s
alleged victims.

Last month, resident Lawrence Gardner, 57, told The Post he visited an FBI
office after Henyard shuttered his trucking business because he refused to renew
a $3,500 political contribution.

The FBI told Gardner it received scores of complaints against Henyard.

Henyard has been accused of spending taxpayer money on lavish and unnecessary
trips and forking over $1 million for a police detail, then using its members
to retaliate against her perceived enemies. 

The former burger joint owner-turned-local politician also is known to attend
meetings dressed as a movie gangster to intimidate her critics.

Henyard once channeled drug kingpin Nino Brown from the 1991 gangster movie “New
Jack City” at a 2023 gathering.

“People look at politics like a joke, it’s like a mockery right now because of
all this stuff,” Village of Dolton Trustee Kiana Belcher told The Post. “She
comes to board meetings dressed like Nino Brown.”
