Thornton Township trustees put lid on Supervisor Tiffany Henyard’s event spending (worst mayor)
Chicago Tribune ^ | 8/21/24 | Mike Nolan

Thornton Township trustees are putting limits on spending for township events by Supervisor Tiffany Henyard’s administration, and enacting rules for use of credit cards by township staff.

The actions came during a township board meeting Tuesday that actually started out as two meetings, both held in the township’s South Holland offices but in different rooms on different floors.

An ordinance regulating spending for township sponsored events gives township department chiefs a spending cap of $1,000 per week or $10,000 per month, and requires the board to sign off on event budgets before money is committed or spent.

A second ordinance is intended to regulate use of credit cards by township staff. Details of the ordinance were not immediately available.

Township meetings are typically held on the second floor of the township building in South Holland, and there were people seated there along with Trustee Darlene Gray-Everett and Clerk Loretta Wells.

People attending the meeting, however, were shunted to a large room in the building’s basement, where large video monitors showed a live feed from the board room as well as a live video feed from the room downstairs.

Three trustees who are at odds with Henyard — Carmen Carlisle, Chris Gonzalez and Gerald “Jerry” Jones — sat at long tables in the downstairs overflow room. At one point Henyard came downstairs and spoke briefly with Jones and Gonzalez before leaving, as people repeatedly chanted “meeting downstairs.”

There was something of a standoff, and a few minutes later, Carlisle explained to those waiting that because they needed the clerk to call the roll on votes and record the meeting, they couldn’t begin despite having enough trustees for a quorum.

How much of the taxpayers money did she manage to waste before this group grew a pair?

How does $1,000/week equal $10,000/ month?

Credit card limits? It’s the race card they should be concerned with.

“How does $1,000/week equal $10,000/ month?”

The extra $6,000/month is for walking around money for the “Supervisor.”

“… a spending cap of $1,000 per week or $10,000 per month”

I think I see the root cause of their fiscal auditing problems.

Tiffany sez “Shee-it, I’ll take the $10,000 per month.”

The Thornton Township Supervisor traditionally is the Democrat Party boss in the south suburbs. She must be really bad, or has brought on too much bad publicity, for them to go against her.

Spread it out over the taxpayers in the whole town and it doesn’t amount to much. Her fallback is that it’s the system. Don’t forget tax cuts for the rich.

Some people are just determined to live down to the level of what’s expected of them.

Twelve million has gone missing.

The town tried to recall her and did but a judge said that a recall was unusual and so he struck it down.

Financial probe of Dolton’s village spending finds a $40,000 Amazon shopping spree? Yes and more.

Investigation conducted by ex-Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot finds rampant cop overtime, a $3.6 million deficit — and even more credit card purchases.
