Is Village of Dolton Insolvent? - Judge Freezes Funds In Dolton Bank Account

Financial troubles in Dolton, Illinois, continue to mount as village officials struggle to pay their bills. Despite cutting checks, vendors remain unpaid, leading to legal actions that have frozen $440,000 in village funds. Trustee Tammy Brown highlighted the village's inconsistent payments, while attorney Pat Walsh criticized the mayor for prioritizing personal expenses over village obligations. Walsh's client, former detective David Graham, won a whistleblower lawsuit, resulting in a $220,000 settlement which remains unpaid. The situation underscores the ongoing fiscal mismanagement within Dolton's administration, leaving residents to bear the brunt of these failures. The next court hearing is scheduled for July 23.
