Board members said Henyard failed to provide sufficient information ahead of the vote by Supervisor Tiffany Henyard led the Thornton Township Board Thursday to deny payments to certain vendors who completed work for the township.
Gonzalez has questioned Henyard’s deals with certain vendors, especially those tasked with providing media services such as photography and videography at events, since the Dolton mayor wasin 2022. However, he said Thursday marked one of the first instances where most other trustees voted with him to forgo payments until more information is provided.
Henyard, as supervisor, decides the terms of contracts with service providers without input from the board. But Gonzalez said the board is tasked with approving payments, which often are brought at the last minute without proper explanation and have not yet been funded as part of next year’s budget. Henyard continued to press the board to approve the full bill list, at one point calling trustees’ complaints of not being provided adequate information ahead of time a “bald-faced lie.”
