The former Chicago mayor will oversee an investigation into Dolton Mayor Tiffany Henyard, accused of lavishly spending public funds.
Tiffany Henyard , the embattled mayor of Dolton , Ill., and former Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot clashed Monday amid heightened scrutiny of Henyard 's lavish spending habits.
Henyard previously vetoed the board’s attempt to call for an investigation into her spending. The trustees voted 4-2 on Monday to override her veto, leading Henyard to ask why the probe, which Lightfoot would lead, was necessary since the FBI is conducting aWhy would we pay anybody any money if y’all have the actual people – meaning the FBI’s here,” Henyard said.
Lightfoot’s mic was cut at Monday’s meeting as she tried to speak. She later took the floor again and was able to tell Henyard she is pursuing the investigation.
