Mutiny in Thornton Township as Supermayor gets silent treatment during council meeting

Turmoil erupted in Thornton Township as Supervisor Tiffany Henyard faced a rebellion during a council meeting when trustees refused to approve routine bill payments. The trustees' protest stemmed from Henyard’s exclusion of key proposals that aimed to impose limits on the use of Township funds for personal promotion, travel guidelines for officials, and caps on salaries. These measures followed accusations against Henyard of using public money for personal gain and lacking transparency. Despite her attempts to advance the agenda, the trustees’ silence highlighted their mistrust and demand for financial transparency. This standoff has intensified scrutiny on Henyard, already under FBI investigation and facing public outrage over mismanagement allegations. The community remains divided, with calls for accountability and proper governance in the wake of this ongoing controversy.
