Now do Dolton Illinois Mayor.

[@theesotaricitalian6338]

This is nothing compares to what Tiffany Henyard is admittingly doing. Why she hasn't been arrestested is beyond me. I feel bad for the people of dolton.

black mayors are extremely corrupt, there's so many examples of black mayors and black gov officials getting caught doing corrupt things. The enemy of the black man is not the white man, but rather their own black "leaders"

I wonder if Tiffany Henyard is paying attention -- what this man did is NOTHING compared to her shannanigans!

[@glam2gobeauty811]

I was looking for a Tiffany comment 😂I hope shes shaking in her boots!!!! She's up next!

[@robertburke1486]

I think it's taken so much time to get to her - and her accomplices - is because it is in the hands of the U.S. Attorney's office. Kimberly Foxx will not take any action against her and her thugs...

[@robertblumer2578]

Tiff’s time is coming !!!

[@angelacox8322]

I'm telling y'all, I actually considered if everyone is being too hard on her and things are "not as they seem" -- but after seeing clips of her as a board member talking competely disrespectful to the past mayor AND asking for ALL the same things the current members are asking for (as either a courtesy or legal right of the board), it has become clear she really just believes she's "that girl" -- above everyone else in the room and above the rules.

[@angelacox8322]

@@robertburke1486 I thought the same thing -- I hope if they truly continue to ignore it, that someone can go ABOVE the US Attorney for investigation (there must be a way to investigate USSA is they are corrupt or not taking action -- at least for the issues dealing with federal funds and laws) -- or else they they simply vote her out next time.

[@williamlove3087]

You should investigate the mayor of Harvey, Illinois too. Mayor Kellogg is doing the exact same thing too.

Poor Riverdale. Used to be a nice, working-class Chicago burb. I’m still in disbelief the FORMER mayor escaped conviction.

Mr. Jackson whatever it is that you may have going on in your life. I Pray that God will deliver you completely BUT in the meantime it might not be a bad idea for you to step down and for you to spend some one on one time with GOD because he is the only one who can help you. Prayers up for you and your family during this difficult time this is an embarrassment BUT nothing is too hard for GOD.
