an Illinois mayor is getting national attention for the way that she's spending taxpayer dollars WGN investigates has learned South Suburban politician Tiffany henyard has lost another key Ally until recently henyard enjoyed near unanimous support on the thoron Township board but now trustee Carmen Carlile says after trusting henyard and remaining silent she will be a whistleblower against henyard has information that indicates the FBI has launched an investigation into controversial Dalton mayor in Thorton Township super ADV visor Tiffany henyard so it looks like things are not going too well for Tiffany henyard because the trustees of Dalton are still on her neck and word on the street is the FBI have locked her out of her bank accounts and they are well on their way to seizing her assets this comes after she was caught embezzling and severely misusing the money that the hardworking citizens of Dalton have been contributing through their taxes I mean she blew all the money on a lavish security team huge Billboards and sledging thousand thousand of dollarss a day on her online shopping spree not to mention the Tiffany head calendar which includes the super mayor's birthday cuz you can't forget that she could pay for all of this herself given that her salary for the two jobs is nearly $300,000 more than the state's Governor by the way but it's all on the taxpayer's time and this goes beyond signage and merch henard put an ordinance in place that if she lost a future mayoral election the next Mayor's salary would be dropped from 200,000 bucks to 25,000 but if she wins it stays the same a lot of people feel like the reason she was able to get away with it for so long and the reason she's not riding in jail right now is because even after all the evidence they've stacked up against her some of the trustees were also in on it so they're protecting her in fact there's even some rumors going around that the trustees who are currently on her neck are just the ones who didn't get a cut and this entire thing goes far deeper than we can imagine now as most of y'all already know Tiffany has been fighting for her life in them toown meetings for a couple weeks now and it's safe to say things are not looking up for her the trustees of Dalton have been looking into Tiffany's corruption for a long time and even tried to quietly investigate things by themselves by asking her to submit her financial records but she was giving them a hard time and using her power to silence people and tamper with evidence do not work here he's F so stop playing these silly GES Board of Trustees and putting people live in jail from here to tell everybody from M which I made this statement at the B so it's nothing different so any questions that seems like an intimidation tactic and Dalton has less than 30 police officers but that room I only saw three I only saw two police officers but presumably whomever was holding the camera is a police officer as well so how many officers were in that room at some point everyone was fed up of her making the investigation difficult and that's when they called in the former mayor of Chicago Lori lighfoot to step in and take charge of the investigation and baby she found a whole lot of incriminating evidence against Tiffany that she honestly should have been rethinking her life decisions about in a jail sale right now but she's still a free woman cuz she's got some very powerful people protecting her it wasn't until Lori was brought in on this case as a special investigator that we found about the true horrors of Tiffany's criminal behavior and just how much it was affecting the people of Dalton according to Laura's findings after her investigation Dalton's general fund balance was 5.61 Million but by May of 20124 the balance had dropped to a deficit of 3.65 million there were also detailed credit card transactions amounting to thousands of dollars which had been traced back to the expensive online shopping spree the Tiffany was having whenever she was bored in her house the credit card had been used to make major purchases at Amazon Target Walgreens Wayfair and other retailers noted one of the purchases on Amazon amounted to $33,000 on January 5th of 2018 2023 that same day two more purchases were made on the site one for $4,753.14 making all these transactions to Amazon made on the same day over $433 she also spent over $7,000 at Wayfair and $2,200 at Best Buy as well as a total of $12,988 on vacation trips to other countries in the past year alone this is beyond just her being a thief this some demonic Behavior right here how do you even sleep at night knowing you blowing through all this money that don't belong to you meanwhile the people who are supposed to be benefiting from it are severely struggling and barely getting by oh but it don't even stop there the community members were sent into a huge shock when it was revealed that as of June 18th 2024 at least 589 checks amounting over $6 million were approved and printed but never sent to vendors these vendors have been waiting on the money the whole time and Tiffany had decided to keep it to treat herself to several shopping spree and vacation trips in another shocking Revelation the investigation found that two police officers who people believe was working for Tiffany and doing some questionable favors for her had received overtime pay exceeding their annual salaries one officer salary for fiscal year 2024 she also spent tens of thousands of dollars on weekl long walk to promote her self-named cancer charity which has yet to file required reporting she expensed almost $15,000 for a trip to Vegas as well as shooting music videos like this awesome one with fellow city employees why can't we get in our public building to have meetings why are meetings being cancelled uh why can't we have transparency what's going on with our tax dollars once all this came out a lot of the residents of Dalton called her out to be punished and for the the feds to make a brutal example out of her in fact Fox News caught up with one of the former Trustees of Dalton and she said I suspected it all along Tiffany needs to be locked up she needs to be made an example out of that she cannot go around using our money and spending it however she wants to spend it like the job comes with a cash register but like I already said the feds are not taking it easy on Tiffany and the Board of Trustees don't have a plan on letting her up either because she was recently slapped with two subpoenas not only that but the FBI is working on freezing all of her bank accounts and assets with immediate effect so they can recoup the remainder of all the stolen money in the first subana feds are seeking Personnel files wage and tax documents time and attendance records contracts and checks written to cash from henards multiple Endeavors a restaurant she owns a property management company she runs her political action committee and a charity in her name in the second subpoena they are seeking financial documents of the township like budgets payroll records and ordinances covering credit card purchases expense reports and reimbursements security details and use of vehicles and baby they found a whole lot of incriminating evidence apparently the reason the feds haven't made an arrest yet is because Tiffany has several people protecting her and that's why the feds want to gather enough concrete and undeniable evidence before going in for arrest this also explains why they slapped her with these two subpoenas and as far as her accounts go the Board of Trustees revealed during a recent meeting that they approved a freeze on credit card hard spending amid the ongoing federal investigation but get this y'all why Tiffany had the nerd to get upset when she found out about
