‘Super mayor’ of Illinois town who spends lavishly on flights, steakhouses while village faces debt

The self-described “super mayor” of a small Illinois town has hit back at those who criticize her almost $300,000 salary and brazen use of public funds on flights, steakhouses and billboards - while her village faces a deficit.
Democrat Tiffany Henyard, elected as mayor of Dolton in 2021, claimed at a public meeting on Monday her critics are simply upset because she is a black woman in power.
“You all should be ashamed of yourselves because you all are black. You all are black,” the glamorous mayor said during the livestreamed meeting. “And you all [are] sitting up here beating and attacking a black woman that’s in power.”
Henyard, who also serves as the Thornton Township supervisor, went on to hit out at her own village trustees, who filed a lawsuit against her, alleging she forged checks and withheld financial records.
“You all forget I’m the leader. They want to hear from the mayor,” she said of the 20,000 residents. “You ain’t learned that yet.”

[@MrKnoxguy101]

Beating and attacking on a black woman.. that’s in power. “In power” Well, that’s an interesting way of looking at a mayoral position. To acknowledge a supposed possession of power to wield over others. Sounds a bit too self-aggrandizing. To claim having been beaten and attacked seems a bit melodramatic for such a low stakes situation as this. For someone denying the allegations against her and having assumed no wrong doing, she sure is getting awfully animated and angry so soon. The lady doth protest too much, methinks.

[@AJC-k9d]

She got caught and blames others for her actions, she should resign, BUT she won't and they'll find her doing it again. Where are the people from her own party that call for the resignation of so many on the opposite side of the aisle? That's right, they turn a blind eye to their own evils...
