The sign outside Thornton Township's office in South Holland reads, "Welcome to Thornton Township. People working with people." But when residents showed up Tuesday night to speak at a public board meeting, they got anything but a warm welcome.
"When I arrived there was security here," said Stephanie Wiedeman, a former township employee and frequent Henyard critic. "He was standing at the bottom of the stairs preventing anybody from going up to the boardroom. I asked him if the meeting was downstairs, he replied yes."
Wiedeman and a handful of other residents wanted to speak directly to Supervisor Tiffany Henyard, who has generated controversy for spending hundreds of thousands of tax dollars on trips, police security, billboards, and her own personal charity.
"I'm just curious to see who makes the decisions about how our tax dollars are being spent," said Thornton Township resident Paul Robertz, who also tried to attend the meeting. But they never got that chance.
After being blocked from going to the boardroom upstairs, the residents were sent to the basement where they were told the township board meeting would be held. It wasn't. They say they asked for a signup sheet for public comment and never got it. And before they knew what had happened, the four-minute meeting upstairs was over and Henyard was gone, without hearing from her constituents.
"They are violating our rights," said Wiedeman. "I pay taxes here. I have a right to get up and speak whether this administration likes it or not."
Not only were the residents shut out, so was a local newspaper reporter who came to cover the meeting.
"I was told by a security guard that I was not allowed upstairs where the boardroom meeting is," said Josh Bootsma, managing editor of the Lansing Journal.

I am talking about incentivizing blacks to resettle to their own homeland in Sub-Saharan Africa. The schism here is so huge now. If you're ever on X there are literally dozens of videos PER DAY of blacks beating the crap out of each other or blacks beating up Whites. Blacks committing crimes, stealing. It's all so tiresome.
Black women are the most corrupt if they get into power. They get greedy and have no problem engaging in all kinds of corruption for money.
The men are not a bad as the women when it comes to this.
It is amazing she has not been arrested, its looking like a SNL skit.
This is what the Definition of “Honest Services Fraud” should be, right here and in your face. It should also be a FELONY and everyone DENIED their rights should be entitled to Civil Damages from each of them Personally.
Wow! Her character shines like a beacon on a hilltop. 13/50
Of course, that’s why black men are running away from them in droves. There’s a movement of blacks who seek out Asian and Eastern European women.
If this is true, someone needs to file a suit against her. Time to put these "Fanni-wantabees" behind bars. The tax payers are tired to being politicians' piggy bank,
They get what they deserve.
Shitcago suburb.
Odd, state of Illinois won’t step in to ‘touch’ her. Even the feds won’t step in. Whole thing ought to be written into a TV script.
No5hing shows fear more than a group in power who refuse to allow their constituents the right to question them openly and freely
What the HECK is a Super Mayor?
I doesn’t sound like a good thing.
Now we know why people like Emile Zola were so important and needed- they shook their fists in the ,face of tyranical government- tyranical governments fear people who have the right to free speech, and exercise it!
The looming repossession angle is not getting reported.

Same thing they got ex-Gov Blago for, but this admin will never take the case
Don’t look now, but there are plenty of white American men doing the same thing. Purple-haired tatted up feminists generally aren’t desirable mates for conservative men.
bttt
Ya she should be caring for the chickens in the Henyard
