The Democratic mayor of Dolton, Illinois, Tiffany Henyard, is facing new allegations of targeting the town’s park district. The Dolton Park District has been issued citations totaling $2,000 for allegedly working without a permit, including installing new playground equipment and spreading mulch. The park district suspects that Henyard is targeting them because they have allowed her political opponents to hold meetings on park district property. Additionally, Henyard is accused of blocking permits for two grants totaling $600,000 for park improvements, potentially causing the grants to expire and taxpayers to foot the bill for work already done.
Henyard, who has been embroiled in various controversies, including alleged financial misdeeds and weaponizing police raids, has been called the “worst mayor in America” by critics. She has also faced allegations of sexual assault by an ally during a Las Vegas trip and scrutiny of her cancer charity. Despite the town’s low median income, Henyard reportedly has a combined salary of nearly $300,000 and has faced FBI investigations based on reports of alleged misconduct. The park district director has criticized Henyard for preventing necessary upgrades and causing residents to suffer due to permit delays.
Despite these allegations and controversies, Henyard’s office has not responded to requests for comment. The ongoing issues with the mayor’s leadership have caused uproar among residents and have attracted national attention to the small town in Illinois.
