A south Chicago suburb is under the spotlight for possible corruption after its mayor was accused of lavishly spending money on luxuries while the Village of Dolton wallows in serious debt.
Dolton Mayor Tiffany Henyard has come under scrutiny for making very questionable spending decisions as mayor even as the village’s bills are going unpaid, Chicago’s WMAQ-TV reported.
In fact, the Chicago suburb’s debt problem is so bad that it has been reported that its police cars are on the verge of being repossessed because the car loan payments have not been made.
According to sources, six police cars and six other cars from the Public Works Department are on the line over late loan payments.
One village trustee also claims that Henyard has been doing all she can to resist opening the books so that the board and the public can see where all the money is going.
