THORNTON TOWNSHIP, Ill. (WLS) -- A special meeting of the Thornton Township trustees Wednesday night was called off, but that didn't stop supervisor and Dolton Mayor Tiffany Henyard from addressing the public.
She slammed recent actions by trustees to limit spending and enact a new credit card policy.
In the absence of the township's five sitting trustees, Henyard's attempt at a special meeting was more like a soliloquy.
"I am about to address some things. There will be no comment, no anything, just me addressing you guys to tell you what's going on," she said. "If you want to leave, you can leave. This is me making my statement. You don't want to hear it? There's the door."
Henyard said she called the special meeting in response to a series of ordinances the village's board passed last week, including one to manage event spending.
In video of the August 20 meeting provided to ABC7 by the Lansing Journal, Trustee Chris Gonzalez said, "If the administration can't adhere to some financial limits...we're not looking to necessarily cut stuff out. However, if you're going to make a decision to do things that benefit the administration rather than help the people, that's your decision."
When that ordinance passed, Henyard claims township services abruptly ground to a halt.
"They were not able to get services, products, gift cards for big bingo," she said. "Monday this town was not even able to buy ice cream for the seniors. They had an ice cream social held at Calumet City, they could not buy ice cream."
"You thought it was just a way to stop Tiffany Henyard, but it was a way to basically stop the services here in Thornton Township," she added.

So, remove her from office.

Nah.
hot crazy matrix...Danger Zone....Girls named Tiffany
In another city she is the trash that shoots the Popeyes Chicken cashier for including Cole slaw instead of beans.
So the city buys the residents bingo cards and ice cream? Must be a nice place to live.
The black voters love these types of black leaders. They are “sticking it to the man.”
