Supermayor Tiffany Henyard calls for 2 trustees to resign immediately

The Thornton Township Board was unable to take action during a special meeting on Monday afternoon because not enough trustees showed up.

Supervisor Tiffany Henyard says two trustees, Carmen Carlisle and Christopher Gonzalez, have failed to attend a series of meetings.

She says that without a quorum, the board is unable to vote on extending insurance coverage or paying bills that are past due.

Those trustees told ABC7 they were unable to attend, and that Henyard scheduled the meeting without their agreement, accusing her of playing "political games."

On Monday, Henyard called for their resignations.
