'America's worst mayor' is booed as she claims she's getting 'unfair amount of questions' at town hall meeting as she clings on to $300k job despite mounting scandals and ongoing Lori Lightfoot probe

'America's worst mayor' was booed at a town hall meeting as she claimed citizens of the small Illinois town were asking her an 'unfair amount of questions.'

'Everybody wants it [to] continue to be a s*** show and not really show facts as it relates to what is really going on in our townships,' Dolton Mayor Tiffany Henyard said at the Tuesday meeting. 

Henyard, the scorned 40-year-old mayor, faced challenging questions from board members and local residents throughout the meeting.

As the crowd booed loudly at Henyard, she didn't hold back as she expressed her frustration, saying it was 'unfair' that she was getting slammed with questions when residents don't ask as many in other communities. 

Her outburst at the township meeting comes amidst a slew of bad press and scorn for Henyard. She currently faces an embezzlement scandal, sexual harassment claims and mounting ethics violations against the mayor as she clings to her nearly $300,000 salary.

Self-described 'Super Mayor' Tiffany Henyard, 40, has been accused of embezzling taxpayer funds and retaliating against a victim of sexual assault - and last month vetoed an investigation into the allegations

As the list of allegations grows against Tiffany Henyard, critics and some of her own constituents are asking how she still remains in position.

The litany of accusations against Henyard, who is also supervisor of Thornton Township immediately south of Chicago, include misspending taxpayers' money on lavish trips, employing a convicted sex offender to a public role and firing staff who refuse to support her. 

Henyard is being investigated by the FBI for corruption and the Dolton board of trustees appointed former Chicago mayor Lori Lightfoot to lead another probe into the scorned mayor on Monday. 

Lightfoot's appointment, at a cost of $400 an hour, has also proved controversial after her disappointing stint as Chicago mayor.

Repeated efforts to oust Henyard have failed. A recall vote in favor of removing her from office was overturned by an appeals court and opponents are now hoping the slew of investigations will trigger her downfall and possibly even criminal charges.

She was elected mayor of the village, population around 21,000, in 2021 but quickly gained notoriety and the label 'America's worst mayor' for her lavish personal spending and bombastic approach to politics, which has included recruiting DJs to perform at village meetings. 

Henyard is paid nearly $50,000 for her role as mayor, plus a further $224,000 as supervisor of Thornton Township. 

The high-rolling mayor has spent thousands on first class trips, a professional hair and makeup team and a security detail. 

She has been accused of unlawfully signing off contracts as dozens of unpaid suppliers threaten to take the town to court.

Henyard has also been accused by a former employee of sexual harassment and retaliation. 

The former employee claims the mayor fired her after she said she was sexually assaulted at a work trip in Las Vegas.

'You know what happened in Vegas. You know what happened. And you should be addressing it,' one resident said at a meeting on Monday.  

The town board had voted through a motion to ask agencies including the FBI, the US attorney, the Cook County sheriff and Cook County state's attorney to investigate Henyard earlier this year.

Henyard vetoed the invitation, but FBI agents were already talking to dozens of people in the town of 20,000 about the unpaid bills.

The mayor has admitted a $2 million deficit, blaming the trustees for incompetence, but some fear the true figure could be as high as $5 million.

The town owes more than $427,000 to a company that repaved its streets, and another $400,000 to a tree-trimming company that worked for it last year.

Henyard had her charity 'Tiffany Henyard Cares' shut down last month by the Illinois Attorney General amid claims it used taxpayer money and the services of public employees.

The first female mayor in the town's 128-year history was at the White House meeting President Joe Biden in January, but she has been accused of shutting down businesses that refuse to donate to her campaign.

The mayor was slammed for hiring her former campaign worker as the town's code enforcement officer despite the fact he is a convicted child rapist.

She also raised eyebrows after spending hundreds of thousands of tax dollars on security details, including one occasion where she pulled cops off the street to perform a protection outfit.

A successful recall vote was overturned on a technicality last year prompting her to dance on a podium at the subsequent board meeting to the strains of Rihanna's 'B***h Better Have My Money'.

'I am and forever will be Dolton's Mayor,' she posted on Instagram, prompting some to call her the 'Dolton Dictator.'

She has not been charged with an offense and is defiant against critics she claims 'should be ashamed of themselves.'

Now, comes in former Chicago Mayor Lightfoot to investigate possible illegal activity in the town.  

Lightfoot - who was ousted as mayor of Chicago last year - was approved by the village's board of trustees to investigate Henyard's alleged corruption at the cost of $400 per hour. 

'I bring expertise in leading investigations of this kind and understand the complex challenges of governing. I will follow the facts where they lead, without bias, and reserve comments until the work is complete,' Lightfoot told the board Monday. 

She may not get very far, however, as Henyard's mayoral powers extend to potentially vetoing the probe. 

Henyard was not present for the meeting Monday where Lightfoot's investigation was approved.

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot may have a new job very soon, as she's been hired by the nearby village of Dolton, Illinois to investigator their mayor, whom many have called 'America's worst'

'I bring expertise in leading investigations of this kind and understand the complex challenges of governing. I will follow the facts where they lead, without bias, and reserve comments until the work is complete,' Lightfoot said

Lightfoot is a former prosecutor who has been tasked by the board with 'All allegations of misconduct, and all internal investigations, if any, along with any village state and federal law violations,' Dolton Trustee Jason House said.

However, even if Henyard does allow the investigation, none of Lightfoot's findings have any authority to bring charges or impeachment against the Dolton mayor. 

Henyard has long defended her decision and shot back at critics. She has shown no signs of resigning or changing her ways. 

'You all should be ashamed of yourselves because you all are black. You all are black! And you all sitting up here beating and attacking a black woman that's in power,' she said ion February. 

Henyard also tried to lay down the law against village trustees who say she's misusing funds.

'You all forget I'm the leader. They want to hear from the mayor. You all ain't learned that yet,' she said. 'The mayor, not the trustees that don't do nothing. They only run their mouth. You all don't do no work, no work!'

Henyard doesn't understand the criticism, as she believes she's working to better everyone's lives.  

'Everything we do is for the people. But we're under attack. We get scrutinized by the media,' she said. 'For what? Loving on the people? Showing that they matter to us? We going through the fires for you all.'
