Dozens of Thornton Township residents gathered Saturday in Calumet City to protest and organize against Tiffany Henyard, the embattled mayor of Dolton who is also township supervisor.
Residents from many of the 17 villages in Thornton Township assembled April 27, 2024, in a parking lot at River Oaks in Calumet City to pressure elected officials to investigate Supervisor Tiffany Henyard.
But now, Thornton residents say it’s time for new leadership amid questions about how township tax revenue is spent. Townships are responsible for some road and bridge maintenance as well as indigent and social services. “This is a call to action to state representatives to do something,” Avent said. “Our taxes are outrageous — have some of the highest taxes. And why are we paying these high taxes? We’re not getting anything.”
Stephanie Wiedeman, who addressed the crowd Saturday, said the township used to have a helpful and decent mental health office to aid residents, but it’s no longer able to meet the needs of the community.
