Thornton Township Settled Watchdogs’ FOIA Lawsuit – More On The Way –

By John Kraft & Kirk Allen

On April 15, 2024

Thornton Township (ECWd) –

We, Edgar County Watchdogs, Inc., filed a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit last year when Thornton Township and Supervisor Tiffany Henyard’s failed to respond to requests for public records.

In the settlement, Thornton Township paid $5,500.00 for our attorney fees – if Henyard and the Township would have simply provided the requested records, it would have cost them and the taxpayers nothing.

Loevy & Loevy represented us in this suit, and we recieved the requested records as part of the settlement.

There are several more unanswered requests for public records which we are contemplating filing suit over.

For Henyard to continually tell the public she will “show the receipts,” her actions tell us otherwise.
