Dolton Mayor Tiffany Henyard Nowhere to Be Found After Report Reveals Huge Village Debt

A day after a report on a probe of the village’s finances found south suburban Dolton is more than $3.5 million in the red, Mayor Tiffany Henyard – who is accused of misusing taxpayer money – was nowhere to be found.

Former Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot, who was hired by the village board to investigate Henyard’s handling of village finances, released preliminary findings that the village is not only in significant debt, but that credit card spending is out of control.

At a special village meeting Thursday night, Lightfoot announced her preliminary investigation of Dolton’s finances found the village’s general fund had a negative balance of $3.65 million as of May 31.

With credit card spending out of control, and receipts for credit card purchases rarely provided, Lightfoot further uncovered spending that doesn’t add up. The report shows $40,000 spent on Amazon purchases in one day – money that’s unaccounted for.
