A financial investigation led by former Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot has revealed that Dolton Mayor Tiffany Henyard may have misused hundreds of thousands, possibly millions, in taxpayer funds. The report highlights a lack of transparency and missing financial records. Key findings include $779,000 in unexplained village credit card charges and over $171,000 in travel expenses without proper documentation. The village's general fund balance dropped from $5.61 million in 2022 to a deficit of $3.6 million in 2024. Henyard, who also serves as Thornton Township supervisor, is under FBI investigation. With local elections approaching, residents may seek new leadership amid these financial concerns.
