A top aide to embattled Dolton, Illinois, Mayor Tiffany Henyard has been fired from one of his jobs.
The aide, Keith Freeman, was fired in July for repeatedly not showing up to work. Henyard serves as Dolton’s mayor, but she is also the town supervisor of the neighboring township of Thornton, where Freeman was fired.
“Due to the high-ranking position that you hold within the township, this type of misconduct cannot be tolerated,” the Human Resources Department of Thorton wrote in its email notifying Freeman he had been fired. “Your misconduct is a detriment to the smooth functioning of the township’s operations.”
Freeman was working as both Henyard’s senior adviser in Thornton Township and as village administrator in Dolton. Payroll records indicate he is still employed in Dolton.
“There appears to be a severing of ties going on between Tiffany and Keith; but nothing from the mayor’s office has come out saying he’s terminated,” trustee Jason House, who announced he’s challenging Henyard for mayor in the 2025 election, said.
According to the Chicago Tribune, Freeman was given a written warning about his behavior in June. He was told he needed to have “better communications of [his] whereabouts and more time spent at the township.” Records from the township also show he worked just 46 hours in the entire month of June, including several weeks with nearly zero hours.

This guy was charged with engaging in a bankruptcy fraud scheme back in April......how the hell has he still got a job at all?
It is a smart HR ploy to document a bad work record and fire the person for cause. It takes time.

I would think that America’s worst big city mayor is London Breed of San Francisco, although the mayors of Chicago, New York City and DC should give her a run for her money.
I thought the FBI was investigating her.
I thought she is the “Supermayor!”
What happened to the Lori Lightfoot “investigation?”
You would think it would be a code of ethics violation that would require termination......I guess that this guy and the mayor are both minorities has nothing to do with any of it. 🤷
