In the small town of Dolton, Illinois, Mayor Tiffany Henyard is facing a barrage of accusations, including alleged misuse of power and unethical behavior.
The mayor, who has been labeled as 'the worst mayor in America,' is currently under investigation by the FBI for purportedly shutting down businesses that did not contribute to her campaign.
According to the Gateway Pundit, the allegations against Henyard have been brought to light by one of her former assistants, Carmen Carlisle. Carlisle, who now serves as a Thornton Township trustee, has accused the mayor of engaging in predatory behavior throughout her tenure.
In a statement emailed to WGN, Carlisle said, Today, I am breaking my silence and speaking out against Thornton Township Supervisor and Mayor of Dolton Tiffany Henyard, who I believe has engaged in unethical and predatory behavior throughout her tenure. She further added, For the past two years, Henyard has manipulated employees, vendors, and residents, using her position to increase her influence, all while projecting a false image of success, funded by the hardworking taxpayers of Thornton Township and the Village of Dolton.
The allegations against Henyard extend beyond her treatment of employees and vendors. Earlier this year, she reportedly vetoed an investigation, unanimously approved by The Dolton Village Board, into claims that she misused funds for extravagant expenses and a $1 million security detail. This move sparked such concern among residents that a group of Dolton trustees hired former Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot to conduct an independent investigation. The findings, presented at a Board of Trustees meeting in August, were met with audible gasps from the attendees.
Despite the mounting pressure and calls for her resignation, Henyard remains defiant, refusing to step aside. Carlisle, however, remains steadfast in her pursuit of justice, stating, I am standing up, not just for myself, but for others who have been affected by what I see as Henyards abusive leadership. I believe there are many more victims who have been retaliated against, fired or lied to by Henyard, but have yet to speak out.
