CHICAGO — Dolton's dire financial situation was addressed at another fiery village board meeting on Monday night. Officials revealed they've had to dip into Tax Increment Financing fees to pay public-sector employees. They also approved some layoffs, including placing Deputy Police Chief Lewis Lacey on administrative leave. 'It's unfortunate, but we have to make these decisions so we can make payroll,' Trustee Brittney Norwood said. The board also froze credit card spending.
As the meeting became heated, attendees were led out. Henyard lashed out at those investigating her and well as the media. 'You guys have bills on the list as it relates to political issues. And you guys know you can't use it for political bills,' She said. 'Remember they say we ain't got no money, but they got money for a lawyer. Remember that.' Lori Lightfoot's investigation Lightfoot in April agreed to investigate claims that Henyard misused public funds.
