Mayor Tiffany Henyard Faces FBI Scrutiny

Tiffany Henyard, the controversial mayor of Dolton, Illinois, has announced her bid for re-election despite significant scandals and financial mismanagement allegations. Henyard, who first took office in 2021, has been accused of extravagant spending, leading to a reported $3.65 million deficit in the village’s general fund, as uncovered by former Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot's investigation. Henyard's administration is under federal scrutiny, with the FBI investigating alleged misconduct and financial mismanagement, and she faces multiple lawsuits and federal subpoenas. Despite these challenges, Henyard is positioning herself as a change-maker, urging supporters to back her reelection campaign. She faces opposition from trustee Jason House, who has formed the 'Clean House 2025' slate to challenge her in the upcoming Democratic primary. Henyard's leadership has been marred by accusations of corruption, with community members and officials expressing deep concerns over her handling of village finances.
