Dozens of Dolton and Thornton Township residents demand state officials remove Tiffany Henyard as mayor, township supervisor

Local leaders and residents from Dolton and Thornton Township are urging Illinois officials to take immediate action to remove Tiffany Henyard from her roles as mayor and supervisor.

Board supervisor Tiffany Henyard and activist Jedidiah Brown traded barbs Wednesday, a day after Brown's comments about the embattled Henyard — who is also the mayor of Dolton — sparked a melee.

Chaos erupted after community activist Jedidiah Brown called Thornton Township Supervisor Tiffany Henyard an expletive.

This was also the first Dolton Village Board meeting since an independent investigation found widespread financial mismanagement in the troubled south suburb. As Jermont Terry reports, Dolton Mayor Tiffany Henyard was not there.

Just over a week after a Thornton Township meeting broke out in brawl involving Supervisor Tiffany Henyard, anti-Henyard activists and others, township trustees met yesterday to discuss their budget proposal and fire two employees.

This came nine days after a brawl in which Henyard's boyfriend and Henyard herself were involved. But Henyard's boyfriend, Kamal Woods, had already been suspended for work performance.

At the meeting, the board fired two township employees. As Jermont Terry reports, one of the workers the trustees fired was Kamal Woods, the boyfriend of Thornton Township Supervisor Tiffany Henyard.

Thornton Township Trustee Stephanie Wiedeman moved to fire Henyard’s boyfriend Kamal Woods, who was hired by Henyard to run the township’s youth program. This came after he was involved in a brawl during a meeting last week.

One of the workers the trustees fired was Kamal Woods, the boyfriend of Thornton Township Supervisor Tiffany Henyard. Woods ran the youth township program. Also fired was William Moore, also a Henyard ally.
