Illinois mayor shuts down local businesses that don’t contribute to her campaign, dresses like a movie gangster: citizens

Mayor Tiffany Henyard attends meetings dressed as a movie gangster and her residents say she plays the part – retaliating against them unless they do her bidding, The Post can reveal.

Henyard channeled drug kingpin Nino Brown from the 1991 gangster movie “New Jack City” at a 2023 gathering, an ensemble meant to intimidate, her critics claimed this week.

“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.”

Lawrence Gardner, 57, told The Post Friday Henyard shut down his trucking business because he refused to renew a $3,500 contribution to her political war chest.

Gardner claimed he made an initial donation to Henyard, but her minions kept coming back for more.

“I made the payment,” he said. “Then every year she started coming and required the same thing, and we had a problem about that.”

When he refused, Gardner said city officials fabricated claims he was illegally selling alcohol and yanked his business license.

“What is she Nino Brown?” he said. “Anything she wants done, she gets them to harass you. She likes nobody. If you are not doing what she say, if you are not doing how she’s saying to do it, you are a problem. She don’t like them.”

Gardner said Henyard and Village of Dolton Police Chief Lewis Lacey have blocked dozens of local businesses from operating because they failed to make the required payments.

The Post heard similar stories from numerous locals who claimed they had recieved harassment from police acting on Henyard’s orders.

Belcher also said former Dolton Chief of Police Robert Collins admitted to her the mayor had asked him to target people.

Dolton, Illinois, borders directly on the south city limits of Chicago, which goes to explain a lot. Like Chicago, Dolton is pretty much run like a fiefdom, of, for and by the ruling elite, machine politics up and down the line.

Not a fun place to visit, even in the daytime.

All that matters is “diversity”. Breakdown of society is a small price to pay to empower a black woman, so stop whining, ok folks? White folks don’t want to pass their nations onto their children or grandchildren, so we need to adjust to other people’s “cultures”.

The NY Post failed to print the word, "Democrat." It took a comment down in the list of comments to show this salient fact.

PW Botha was right. This is the end result whenever blacks assume power.

Henyard?

Even worse, the former po-lice commissioner in Killadelphia was named "Danielle Outlaw".

She should. And if they were stupid enough to vote for, they deserve everything she does to them. And those who were smart enough to vote against her, better get the hell out while they are able.
