The Chicago Tribune published a scathing editorial reminding residents of embattled “super mayor' Tiffany Henyard's excessive spending and misuse of tax payer funds.
The Chicago Tribune editorial board urged voters to keep Democratic Mayor Tiffany Henyard's excessive spending front of mind as she eyes reelection next year. In an editorial titled, 'Dolton voters should remember Mayor Tiffany Henyard’s taxpayer-funded 5-star hotel stays and fancy meals,' the board highlighted Henyard's lavish spending and tax-payer-funded trips, contrasting her over the top lifestyle to that of Dolton residents, a fifth of whom currently live in poverty.
Fox News Digital previously reported that Henyard has been living like a royal with a combined salary of nearly $300,000 — more than the state's governor — despite the 23,000 residents of the Illinois town having a median income of $24,000. Former colleagues have spoken publicly about the extravagant trips and wreckless spending.
The accusations of financial misdeeds in Dolton have prompted an ongoing FBI investigation. The reports have been a pressure point for the city, which has a population of slightly more than 20,000, according to a July 2023 estimate from the U.S. Census Bureau. She has been called a dictator by some locals. Dolton's next mayoral election is scheduled for April 2025 after the February 2025 primary. Several Dolton trustees are running to defeat Henyard using the slogan 'Clean House 2025.
