Dalton, Illinois ‘super’ Mayor Tiffany Henyard is under investigation for her use of public funds and corruption within the community.
The FBI was tipped off by a U-Haul company allegedly not allowed to renew its business because it did not donate to a civic event sponsored by Henyard.
Mayor Henyard enjoys a very cushy salary of nearly $300k, while the median income of Dalton, Illinois, is only $24k.

The folks at Fox News share more on her shady practices:
The FBI is reportedly probing misconduct allegations regarding Dolton, Illinois Mayor Tiffany Henyard after a local business owner claimed he was punished for refusing to donate to an event the mayor held.
Henyard had previously posted an Instagram video of herself chatting with Biden from when she attended a press conference at the White House on Jan. 19, during the U.S. Conference of Mayors’ annual winter meeting.
ADVERTISEMENTFox News Digital previously reported that Henyard has been living like a royal with a combined salary of nearly $300K – more than the state’s governor – and frequent use of beauty vendors, despite the 23,000 residents of the Illinois town having a median income of $24K. Henyard has also come under fire for various tirades in public meetings, accusing her critics among local leaders of “beating and attacking on a Black woman that’s in power.”
According to FOX 32, a Dolton-based U-Haul rental and trucking business owner named Lawrence Gardner said he went to the FBI out of frustration that the Village of Dolton would not renew his business license. He claims he has suffered from harassment, raids on his business and being shut down by Dolton Police. Gardner believes it’s retaliation after he refused to donate to a civic event sponsored by Henyard.
“I talked to a couple of [FBI] agents and I explained to them what’s going on,” Gardner told FOX 32. “I gave them all my paperwork to show them what was happening in court and what was happening in Dolton. And they told me they were investigating and would be in touch with me.”
He also reportedly claimed that the FBI agents he spoke with took his allegations seriously, “Yes. Very serious. Very.”
From the sounds of it, Mayor Henyard is a tyrant.
She spoils herself off public funds and punishes anyone who stands against her.

The New York Post shares more:
The FBI told Gardner they received scores of complaints against Henyard “but they were just starting an investigation,” he recalled.
“She said we are going to get her,” he said, referring to an FBI agent. “It just takes time. We have to make sure we have all our i’s dotted and t’s crossed.”
ADVERTISEMENTThe FBI investigation, first reported by Fox 32, is also using electronic surveillance, the station reported.
Sherry Britton, a vocal Dolton resident, said the FBI paid her a visit last week, but she is remaining tight lipped on their advice.
“I want to see her stopped,” Britton told The Post Wednesday. “This has to come to an end. This has to stop, it’s ridiculous.”
A spokesperson for Henyard told The Post they are unaware of any investigation, saying: “Mayor Tiffany Henyard and the Village of Dolton have not received any subpoenas and have not been contacted by the FBI or any other law enforcement agency.”
Let us hope that the FBI can handle this investigation swiftly and save the people of Dalton, Illinois, from this tyrant.
