Thank you for breaking this down for everyone saying the trustees are only abstaining from meetings to be vindictive to Tiffany. They don’t want a repeat of the same thing that caused all the shenanigans going on right now. This is a clown show and no matter how you try to twist it or turn it, if Tiffany gets her way, it only gets worse. Thanks so much for making this murky water clear.

[@TMckenny59]

Thanks for this report, Melanie! I’ve followed along the Tiff debacle almost from the beginning. You’ve just let me know there was much more to this that I hadn’t learned of. There’s many KZbin channels covering Thornton and Dalton but none are as informative as Lansing Journal Channel. It helps those of us who aren’t citizens of those communities that fall under Thornton Township know just how important your paper is to your residents there. Keep up the great work!

Someone local said on another channel that she 100% knew she was going to be nominated. It wasn’t a surprise to her, that’s why she was there in the first place. And if you watch her at the end she’s a terrible liar, she is trying to emphasize how caught off guard she was..

[@Tomes23]

The fix was in.

[@justnaturallyme]

I read about her knowing as well. She first stated that she was the youngest and only female that night...and she hasn't stopped saying yet!!🤣

[@NunyaBizness2.0]

“Everyone loves me!” *eye roll* Nah she had some dirt or was giving it up to the right ppl. She didn’t mention her willingness or that it’s a privilege to serve, she went on about how much ppl love her and how surprised she was. That was a huge red flag. I can’t believe they voted her in she’s the absolute worst and has been a problem since early on.

[@BusterGeorge-c4b]

The word on the street says that Tiff went to Franks bedside as he was getting more ill and she asked him to call Chris Gonzales to give her the job….he passed that night and Chris felt he couldnt go back on his word to give her the job….could be true could be codswallop.

The one that gets me is that Tiffany was breaking into cars and all of a sudden became mayor / supervisor. She was a trustee at that time why would she be able to carryon after being a no good little thief!

[@sammyhooligan803]

Yes, I thought a criminal background should have been looked at before appointment or anything to do with politics with henyard?

[@mssunshne1962]

@GONZOSARTIMPORIUM I read that somewhere else, but I thought people was just saying that to be ugly. WOW, I see they do not know how to properly vet or do background checks on people. She should never have been a trustee, supervisor or mayor, they just let anybody take a seat at the table and steal from the tills.

Melanie, Mr. Keith Price, in an WGN interview, when asked by the reporter why uninsured vehicles were being used mentioned perhaps they had “one day insurance” for Township vehicles (since insurance has lapsed). I have never heard of such a thing. Are they not aware that everything they say which is recorded can potentially be used against them IF the FBI is investigating (and watching)? 😮 I believe a new investigative report from the Lansing Journal is warranted for this matter.😂

[@ArethaRenee]

She had no idea. She is still clueless now. She is a waste of a position.

[@lansingjournal]

Yes, I think that interaction between Deputy Supervisor Washington and Clerk Wells - and even the earlier interaction where Attorney Kusper had to correct her - show that Washington was not able to keep track of what was going on. Her confusion in those moments makes me think she had already been struggling with some form of dementia, and the stress of the situation made it worse. She was given the role of Deputy Supervisor because she was the longest-serving trustee. I'm not sure if that was a legal requirement or simply a sign of respect, but she got the position despite her inability to handle it in her condition.

[@Mikebuddy2229]

12:06 You hit the nail on the head with that statement. I used to attend the Thornton Township meetings back in 2006 through 2017. The board was a rubber stamp. Frank made all the decisions, and the board was just a figurehead for the public to see. The same was true for the South Suburban College Board, where Frank served as Chairman. It was done that way because Frank didn't want any opposition to his political agenda. As we all see, this can have long-term consequences because when you have a dysfunctional board that's not used to making key decisions, it's really easy for someone who shouldn't be in a position of power to swoop right in like we see today.

[@Tomes23]

Reminds me of what happened at the end of the Weimar Republic after Hindenburg died. There was a power vacuum.

[@developer101]

The board didn’t do their job. Gonzalez hastily nominated Henyard, that was an absolute disaster…

[@ChaChaWitYa]

Even with this, people will still sadly speak out of ignorance and blame the residents by saying this is what they deserve.

[@juliemaring6048]

What “innocent residents” are those? Everyone I’ve seen seems to have ZERO CLUE.

[@patriciamarshall9397]

[@justnaturallyme]

Melanie, these videos are always helpful and you all do a great job in reporting on this story. One thing that still confuses me is that Tiffany was combative and disrespectful (based on older public videos) as a Trustee and it was well known, so I'm still not clear why Gonzales nominated her (which I know he has stated he regrets). I'd like to hear how others feel about it as well. Thanks!

[@GrampiesCorner]

Tiffany was happy because she was going to make more money from this gig than the mayor gig!!

[@paulrobertz8491]

Thank you for providing this perspective, based on minutes of past meetings. You may also wish to note that the March 3 meeting began without the appointment of a supervisor pro tem to preside over the rest of the meeting. Clerk Wells illegally assumed the role of the presiding officer, as emphasized during public comment by former trustee Jim Giglio at the 9/27/2022 township board meeting.

[@dawnhines6599]

Hi Ms. Melanie!!! Happy Holidays from a windy Seattle!! Thank you VERY MUCH for this Deep Dive! I’d heard the Readers Digest version of this~but seeing it with my own 👀 really brought the Chaos full circle! It’s really sad to see the opportunity that was gifted to the current Sprvsr & watching how horribly it was used & abused. The TH we see in this video with all of her wide-eyed enthusiasm & humble commitment so professionally promised•Is a HUGE departure from the TH we have witnessed break most all of the Rules & Standards while Name-Calling and blatantly LYING in most EVERY MEETING AND VIDEO TO DATE! She had such an amazing & ready-made Role to step into had she been satisfied with what the Position required of her. I think the first taste of POWER she had-she was INSTANTLY ADDICTED to it! We know how addictions typically end up….. Either the person has a Rock Bottom Moment & begins to get back on track while being honest and following Rules OR they sadly just fade away………

[@lansingjournal]

That sounds like a valid analysis!

[@Transition333]

What this town really needs, because of its unique intelligence quotient, is an out-of-town, sub contractor board of trustees and supervisor. It seems this township doesn’t have sufficient numbers within its population with the education, intelligence, or wherewithal capable of even electing a supervisor, let alone running the township. It was so obvious that, when Ms. Washington nominated a person, then immediately voted him down, these trustees are sorely unprepared to participate in even local politics. They don’t know the first thing about government!

[@lansingjournal]

I don't want to judge Ms. Washington too harshly. Having watched her at those last two meetings, I got the impression that she was struggling with Alzheimer's. (This is my personal opinion, not a medical diagnosis.) She may have been showing early signs for months previous, but she was able to maintain control and make it through routine days. But the stress of everything that happened after Zuccarelli's death became too much for her to navigate.

[@Transition333]

I apologize. I certainly understand, and there are many, very capable people in this group, especially the current trustees. Even Chris Gonzalez is intelligent, but why he would nominate Tiffany is beyond me. I’m involved in a special government project, and very soon, you will see a drastic change not seen since 1871 when our country was hijacked, and made into a corporation controlled by billionaires. We are not a Democracy, we are a republic, and those powers will be returned to the people when Trump is inaugurated. He has been Commander in Chief all this time unbeknownst to most of the public. Biden expired years ago, and a dirty trick has been foisted on the citizens, but Trump will end it. This is how we know Tiffany’s days are numbered. The Democrat’s cabal is being taken down behind the scenes, with Fani Willis, Judge McAfee (no one has seen him for months), and people like P. Diddy. You will see this all become very public, and the people will be so shocked at the disclosure of what has been going on for decades, the truth will cause people to be unable to cope. Get ready because January 20th is almost here. Your work at Lansing Journal is stellar. It’s the only publication that makes sense, and is understandable. You look very stressed yourself, but still very pretty, and extremely intelligent. Thank you so much!

Outstanding journalism! I've been keeping up with the issues of Dolton regarding the mayor / supervisor Tiffany Henyard.. Going back to when she was a trustee and through my observation It was very clear early on that nominating her was going to be problematic for the citizens of Dolton, etc! Mayor/supervisor displayed who she was from the beginning! Considering everything that's happened while she was a trustee and her lack of respect and continuous negativity, I'm left wondering why Gonzalez would nominate her!?! Thou i do believe his nomination for her was with good intent for the citizens of Dolton. Moving forward, his decision on important matters should be re-evaluated,and I say this with all do respect,that was an extremely poor decision..
