She's not only the mayor of Dolton but she's the Thornton Township Supervisor which she manages multiple suburbs within the Thornton Township. The Village Town Hall is in South Holland, IL. which is where this incident happened at. Holding these types of positions you're getting money under the table from businesses to get city contracts. It's just like Walsh Construction that started in Chicago gotten so big because of ex Mayor Daley giving this company ALL of the major road contracts.
