Dolton Mayor Tiffany Henyard is facing another hurdle after a lawsuit accuses her of discriminating against a church.
Redeemed Christian Church of God Resurrection Power Assembly alleges the mayor and the village failed to apply Dolton's zoning code by preventing the church from renovating the building it purchased. They say the property's zoning allows religious institutions. Pastor Stephen Osunkeye said the church needed more space due to an increase in attendance.The south suburban church has operated in Dolton for the past 10 years after moving its congregation from South Holland and Calumet City.
Religious institutions are permitted in the area under the zoning code. Based on statements from employees, the mayor is calling the shots," said John Mauck, with Mauck & Baker Law.Earlier this week, Henyard vetoed a resolution that was passed by the village board last month to investigate her spending.The resolution received unanimous support and mandated the mayor to submit the village's financial records and called for an FBI investigation.
