Chaos breaks out at Dolton, Illinois village board meeting with mayor under fire
DOLTON , Ill. -- A village board meeting absolutely erupted in Dolton Monday night, with harsh words between residents and others nearly coming to blows.One resident coming out of the Dolton Village Hall called what happened a 'disgrace.' The nearly two-hour meeting was not adjourned – it was cut short when the quarreling nearly turned physical, and forced police to step in and prevent a fight.
The crowd in the village hall chanted, 'Let her speak'—Lightfoot spoke while Henyard continued to voice objections – and soon, the crowd was furious. Last month, Henyard vetoed the investigation that Lightfoot is set to lead, saying: 'How dare you think you can come into someone's town and investigate? You will not get paid.'Yet when the motion came for the Dolton village trustees to overturn Henyard's veto, the ruckus ensued.
