Controversial Dolton, Illinois “supermayor” and Thornton Township Supervisor Tiffany Henyard has drawn comparisons to several historical figures amid a battle to retain power.
Inside Thornton Township, Illinois, an ongoing insurance dispute between Supervisor Henyard and local board members Carmen Carlisle and Chris Gonzalez has escalated into a government shutdown. As a result, many services are unavailable due to a lack of liability insurance, including access to bill payments amid a government shutdown.
ABC7 reported that the heart of the dispute is that the two commissioners “say they are boycotting to prevent Henyard from appointing a commissioner to resolve the tie.”
“Our hesitation is that it’s going to set us back if there’s a person in there who’s just going to say yes to everything,” Carlisle said.

When Henyard was asked in an interview local newspaper whether she would really have the authority to appoint such a person, she disputed the commissioner’s claims.
“I don’t. I don’t have the sole authority to appoint anybody,” Henyard said. “When you’re going to say, ‘Hey, that’s neglect.’ You are neglecting your duties as an elected official.”
The area is still reeling from a the controversial democrat club where state Sen. Napoleon Harris replaced Henyard at the top of the list.

Henyard responded to the earthquake by declaring, “We didn’t have a chance to be heard” and that “on December 3, 2024, your right to vote was usurped by your committee member, Senator Napoleon Harris.”
Harris disputed this story when he spoke to ABC7.
“No one was denied entry, everything was done exceptionally,” he said. “We must respect the rule of law.”

Henyard again disputed the quake, telling the same news outlet, “I am history. I am 21st century history,” Henyard said. “I’m your Rosa Parks, your Harriet Tubmans. [sic] I am that person. Someone has to say never, never give up.”
The city’s shutdown is taking its toll on local residents like Tom Olejniczak, who showed up early Wednesday morning to file paperwork for the aid program.

“Okay, here I am and now they’re gone,” Olejniczak remarked. “And now what? What are you doing now?”
