Financial turmoil continued to unfold in south suburban Dolton Thursday after a bank said the village failed to make a payment worth tens of thousands of dollars, which may result in police cruisers and other public works vehicles being repossessed.
According to a letter dated Feb. 14, 2024, representatives from KS StateBank are threatening to take possession of more than a dozen village vehicles, which includes six police cruisers, after the village failed to make a payment of more than $76,000 on the vehicles’ loan some nine months ago.
Lawyers for KS StateBank said in the letter, that the village and the bank entered into a Government Obligation Contract in May 2019, when the village financed 13 vehicles, for the principal amount of $332,761.50.
“Due to failure to maintain current payments, the Contract is now in default. As of the date of this letter, the amount past due is $76,138.00 with interest accruing thereon,” the letter stated.
According to the letter, repeated attempts to contact the Village of Dolton have been ignored and promises to pay have been broken.

Several trustees who spoke with WGN-TV, and Burt Odelson, legislative counsel for the Village of Dolton Board of Trustees, said the payment was authorized by the board in May 2023 and they were not aware it hadn’t been made.
“She can blame whoever she wants, but the board did their job back in May and authorized payment. She’s blocking payment,” said Odelson.

If you read at the link it says Dolton, IL and WGN is doing the reporting, which is Chicago.
Now I agree, the poster could say just where Dolton is as a courtesy to the readers.
It appears to be a burb on Chicago’s south side. Thus rat run, and no wonder they can’t afford to pay for anything, in particular police cruisers. Most likely by design, not financial faulting.
“Another DEI mayor with an attitude. There seems to be a common theme with these Black ladies in power.”
The worst of the worst.
Where ??
KS State Bank loans money to Dolton, illannoy? Their underwriters should be summarily fired for failure to do even half-assed diligence.
South Cook County burb. Garbage.
Thanks
I read KS statebank and thought it might be Kansas
“She’s blocking payment,” said Odelson.
“...exorbitant spending on lavish trips and experiences by Henyard, which included a trip to Las Vegas that cost more than $12,000 and fell in the same month the loan payment was due”
Sorry, Mr. Odelson. She’s not blocking any payment.” There’s nothing in the till to make the payment with. It’s empty.
Don’t these places have AUDITORS? Or watchdogs that watch the crooks?
Her turn at the trough. No one should complain.
IIRC solvent before the new mayor sucked the cash out oh the town.
Nate the lawyer is on top of this story, and fun too!
