One lawsuit, filed by a high-level Thornton Township employee who was dismissed, alleged she worked from her car after being locked out of township offices and suffered a heart attack due to stress over not being paid for her work. Tracy said she worked as human resources manager for the township and was unfairly fired in September 2022 after taking leave for a surgery.
Tracy said that from June 7 through Sept. 14 2022, she either worked from her home or from her car in the township parking lot. She said that she went for more than a month continuing to do her job without pay while at the same time caring for her seriously ill husband. Johnson said that prior to the June 2022 recall referendum, Henyard asked village employees to work on her behalf, including making door-to-door visits to voters and making phone calls, including when they were on the village’s time.
Samysha Williams, who ran unsuccessfully as a Dolton trustee and worked for the village, also sued March 13 in federal court, also alleging a pattern of vindictive behavior by Henyard after she lost the recall vote but prior to the state appeals court that overturned the results.alleging that while running for trustee last year she was defamed by Henyard in campaign filings that alleged she had defrauded the village as an employee.

Williams said that she was fired in early August 2022 when a Dolton police officer arrived at her doorstep delivering a letter notifying of her termination, but said the letter did not contain a name or signature nor reason for her firing.Stephanie Wiedeman filed a lawsuit Jan.
