Thornton Township's government remains shut down, without crucial insurance after chaotic meeting

Thornton Township still does not have crucial insurance or funds for important programs after Friday's meeting devolved into chaos.

The Thornton Township board agreed on very little as Supervisor Tiffany Henyard and critic Trustees Chris Gonzalez and Carmen Carlisle, once again, went in on each other.

"Call the roll, and let it pass or fail. Call the roll," Gonzalez said.

The special meeting called by Gonzalez and Carlisle took place at the park district building in Dolton, in part, because of the closure of the township's main building over finances.

"We want to see the resident of Thornton Township get all the service they deserve and need, but it takes compromise. But I think we are at this place because Henyard has an inability to work with the constituents of Thornton Township," Carlisle said.

The attendance of the trustees created a quorum and comes after months of their absence.
