Dolton, Ill. (ECWd) –
Thornton Township Supervisor Tiffany Henyard is once again using public funds, property, or credit for her private purpose of electioneering for public office.
She is apparently begging to be prosecuted under Article VIII, Section 1 if the Illinois Constitution – which the courts have already established that violations of this section of the constitution are felonious and can be prosecuted under the Official Misconduct statue in the Illinois Criminal Code.
On September 1, 2024, she plans on having an event in Dolton for “Friends of Tiffany Henyard” – which is her personal campaign fund – and she has advertised this event on the official Thornton Township Facebook page, including a clearly political flyer stating it is presented by the Thornton Township Supervisor and Thornton Township Board of Trustees.
The trustees did not approve of this and could never have legally approved of this obvious political campaign event.
Henyard called a special meeting on August 28th, with this item actually on the agenda for the township board to approve public taxpayer funds for this obvious campaign event. The trustees never attended the meeting, and Henyard continued to hold a “meeting” consisting of only herself and the township attorney, spending around an hour on a crazed verbal vomit session.
This cannot continue, the Cook County State’s Attorney can and should immediately prosecute this electioneering action.

Posted at 12:08h, 02 SeptemberSeriously though. Think about all the laws written to “protect” us, to stop criminals from taking over our government, to assure transparency. We think that just because there are laws they will be adhered to. The laws are only as good as the enforcement and that includes individuals stepping up to file lawsuits to keep the crooks in line. Unfortunately, the crooks know that we are not quick to exercise that option (I am so guilty of that myself) and that they are free to continue unhindered by “laws”. How often have you read on this site, ECW giving the facts and advising citizens of that jurisdiction to take up the cause and file a lawsuit against the crooks? I have seen and heard and read here the plea for ECW to look into issues, to do something. While they often step in to expose issues brought to them and also to fight in court, when they have been denied documents for example, they can’t do it all.

Posted at 11:54h, 02 SeptemberWe are so fortunate that there are laws to protect us, particularly taxpayers and the money we pay to rent our own property. Excuse me, gotta go as I am choking on the tongue in my cheek….

Posted at 09:12h, 01 SeptemberI’m confused why she is not getting prosecuted because they have the actual receipts from where is used tax payers and city money for personal travels, shopping, etc?? So are they not able or don’t want to prosecute her?? So apparently once you get elected in local government position you can just do whatever you want blatantly in the open without consequences.. Wow

Posted at 21:30h, 31 AugustA meeting with only herself and her attorney present, apparently her attorney doesn’t know the Law either. Disbar the attorney and imprison Henyard, please!

Posted at 09:55h, 31 AugustMs. Henyard either has no clue where the boundary lines are in the law or doesn’t care. Either way she should be prosecuted.

Posted at 08:02h, 31 AugustMost politicians do not want to give up the power. No accountability for bad actions. Shame on the people who voted this narcissist into office.
