Self-styled Illinois “super mayor” Tiffany Henyard has spent gobs of cash
from her debt-ridden small town’s coffers — burning thousands on
unapproved ice rinks, constant parties and luxurious travel, and upwards
of million dollars on pay for local cops serving as her personal security
detail.
“The spending has become unbearable for the residents. It’s parties and a
lot of events. It’s resources in reference to making it look like
something is being done, but we really can’t afford it,” said Dolton,
Illinois, trustee, Kiana Belcher.
Mayor Henyard, a failed burger joint boss, has come under fire in recent
months for her outlandish antics and questionable spending — including
hiring a DJ to punctuate her points during government meetings, and co-
opting cops to dance in her music videos — which have left residents and
local leadership alike outraged.
“A million dollars of overtime for the police department is absurd. We
can’t afford it,” Belcher added.
A small village of about 20,000 people just south of Chicago, Dolton now
fnds itself drowning under $5 million in debt — which trustee Jason House
said started piling up shortly after Henyard took office in 2021.
She explained how her inaguration party cost $15,000 which Henyard
initially said her campaign would pay for, but instead charged to the
village.
“If there is a party, she’s going to make it happen,” Belcher said,
pointing out a Valentine’s Day party that was held at the town’s ice rink
on Wednesday night.
The rink was built in the fall of 2022 when Henyard allegedly went over
the heads of the village board and ordered it to be built on public land
at a cost of $115,000, putting down a $10,000 deposit.
When the board found out they halted the rest of the rink payments, so
Henyard went around them again and ordered a rink from a separate company
which successfully installed it.
That rink was completed days before a crucial election for Henyard,
according to Illinois Answers. During a grand opening for the rink, the
mayor published a video mocking the town board.
“Remember: when all five of them trustees said no, look what God did!” she
said, cackling.
Residents and local leadership have not been as amused.
“It’s no transparency. You ask questions and they don’t want to give you
the information. As the legislative body, we pay the bills,” said Belcher,
who complained that the rink only ever gets used when Henyard allows it.
In September 2022, Henyard and the town board voted to donate $10,000 to
her own foundation, which purports to support cancer patients — a
foundation which was chartered with the state the very day the donation
was voted on, according to documents reviewed by Illinois Answers Project
and FOX 32.
A month later, Henyard organized a 10-day walk and bike ride across the
state to Springfield in the name of her foundation, but charged most of
the trip to the Dolton credit card.
In total, the trip cost about $11,000 in hotels, restaurants,
photographers, DJs, and supplies, according to FOX 32, and utilized an
armada of town-owned vehicles to escort the walk.
Additionally, records showed the town spent over $17,000 on branded
sweatshirts and t-shirts just a week before the walk, but then refused to
disclose what the merchandise was for. During the walk, Henyard gave away
branded foundation sweatshirts and t-shirts, which were also available for
about $30 on the foundation’s website.
Henyard’s penchant for throwing parties and taking trips on the town’s
dime has become another problem for many in Dolton.
Trips to Atlanta, Austine, and New York City — on which she frequently
flew first class and stayed in ritzy hotels like the Four Seasons — taken
during Henyard’s term ran the city over $67,000, according to records
obtained by WGN9.
