Self-described “super mayor” Tiffany Henyard vetoed a resolution seeking to investigate her spending following allegations that she misused taxpayer money on lavish trips and her own $1 million police detail.
The Dolton, Illinois, village board unanimously voted to open a probe into Henyard, calling on her to submit the village’s financial records and inviting the FBI to conduct its own investigation.
Henyard, however, issued a veto on Monday, claiming the resolution was the result of personal attacks against her and stemmed from one-sided narratives.
“As you can see, our village, our community, myself, we are under attack,” Henyard said at the village board meeting. “It’s a shame that people can come to meetings and just tell one side of the stories and not get the entire side of both stories.”
She claimed that the village board was “a boys club” that doesn’t want women like her leading, with Henyard vowing to “fight back” against the alleged smear campaign against her.
“I’m going to always fight for what’s right, and I always stay the course. And I will be victorious when all the dust clears,” she added.

While the village has yet to formally invite the FBI to investigate Henyard, federal investigators are allegedly already in Dolton questioning the mayor’s alleged victims.
Last month, resident Lawrence Gardner, 57, told The Post he visited an FBI office after Henyard shuttered his trucking business because he refused to renew a $3,500 political contribution.
The FBI told Gardner it received scores of complaints against Henyard.

Is it “men afraid of strong women” this time, or “racism”?
She’s Fani Willis without the blubber.
Both are Ghetto Queens.
Pure Unadulterated Racism, in what sane world should a black person be held to the same legal, moral and ethical standards as a white person?
Is it “men afraid of strong women” this time, or “racism”?
Yes.
BTTT
Trump is crucified and this THIEF just goes on and on.
I wonder if she will allow them to hold an election when her current term expires?
Maybe declare an “emergency” and become Mayor Spendthrift for life.
Following this story and hope she’s prison time. Lots of prison time.
This is far from mismanagement, or some trivial careless spending.
The blacks, who make it into higher office, feel they have the freedom to rip off taxpayer’s money, because they consider it reparations. Bank on it!
“It’s a shame that people can come to meetings and just tell one side of the stories and not get the entire side of both stories.”She should have continued: "And to tell my side of the story gets told, I'm going to veto the investigation that would reveal exactly what I was doing."
These are the most brazen people in the world. "Chutzpah" doesn't begin to describe it.
This is Illinois, right?
Its always them. Playing the race card...
Tiffany is going to be wearing an orange jumpsuit. Extortion is a federal offense. BLM is an extortion racket too. Gangsta!
Where’s RICO when you need him?
Why the FBI?
Doesn't the State if Illinois have an organization tasked with investigating the corruption of government officials?
I think it is called Illinois Bureau of Criminal Investigations
It is my opinion that the States are much better off handling these things In House.
The less reason you give the Feds to come in to your state the better. Certainly do not invite them in. Like a vampire; don't invite them in to your house.
Only evil can come of it.
She vetoed an investigation. Call the cops.
self described arrogant loud mouthed thug
She a qwang. Qwangz are not concerned with the bleating of their sheep.
The mystery here is how this douchebag isn’t in prison right now.
