Village of Dolton Trustees hold special meeting to avoid bankruptcy while fighting Supermayor

Three trustees from the Village of Dolton called a special meeting on Monday night to try and keep the village running as they deal with embattled Mayor Tiffany Henyard.

Trustees who do not support Henyard said she would not allow them to put items on the regular meeting agenda, so they set their own meeting to start before hers.

The two contentious meetings were held back to back, starting at 6:15 p.m. at Village Hall.

Trustees said Dolton is facing a financial disaster and they blame Henyard for overspending and mismanagement.

“There’s no more money, anything that we can sell we need to sell it, if you wanna get outside we can sell you too,” trustee Kiana Belcher said.
