'America's worst mayor' Tiffany Henyard hit with ANOTHER lawsuit, this one claiming she fired an employee for not taking part in her schemes
Tiffany Henyard, also known as 'America's worst mayor,' has been slammed with a lawsuit by a former employee who said he was fired for not going along with one of her schemes.
Dwayne Thrash, 63, a former maintenance manager in Dolton, Illinois, where Henyard serves, alleged last week that a close ally of the embattled mayor approached him in 2023 with a plan to replace the school board's attorney with a law firm he proposed.
After Thrash decided to not support the alleged scheme he was abruptly fired - while on approved vacation - for 'unsatisfactory work performance' and 'insubordination,' the lawsuit claimed.
The legal filing has demanded that the city erase the part about his inadequate work performance and award him compensation for his abrupt firing.
This is the latest legal filing against Henyard as she received two federal subpoenas just last month over her excessive spending habits.

The ally, who has not been named, allegedly wined and dined multiple times. Thrash also received a $10,000 raise, the lawsuit, reviewed by WKRC-TV, said.
When asked if he would support the replacement plan, Thrash said that he wouldn't if it meant 'firing everyone in the office,' according to the lawsuit.
He and another member then decided not to attend the meeting that was supposed to discuss the alleged scheme. Their absence prevented the preferred law firm from teaming up with the school board.
The new lawsuit has accused the mayor of multiple offenses, including violating the First and Fourteenth Amendments.
According to Thrash's LinkedIn, he is now a maintenance manager in Thornton, about 13 minutes away from Dolton. DailyMail.com contacted Thrash and Mayor Henyard for comment.
In the beginning of June it was announced that former Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot will probe Henyard after the town vetoed her attempts to block any investigation.

On Monday, June 3, police were forced to break up the room as the situation devolved following a 4-2 vote by the town board to reinstate Lightfoot.
The incident unfolded after more than two hours of heated debate, during which village residents poured into the chamber to air their considerable grievances against Henyard.
The Dolton mayor - who spoke into a golden microphone during the meeting - is currently under federal investigation, as well as immense pressure from her constituents to resign.
She is being probed for allegedly misusing town finances, which trustees say has led to a deficit of more than $5 million.
The town board previously attempted to hire Lightfoot - who worked for years as a federal prosecutor - to lead a special investigation into Henyard.
The request was vetoed by Henyard, as was one that would have opened up an inquiry into some of her questionable behavior and spending habits.
Henyard claimed the board's hiring of Lightfoot as a special investigator for $400 per hour was 'unconstitutional infringement of the powers of the office of mayor.'

One resident blasted Henyard before the board and audience: 'You're not going to understand until they come and put cuffs on you,' she said, referring to the FBI probe currently pending against the town leader.
Trustee Jason House, who was previously voted in as mayor pro tempore at a previous meeting, requested that Lightfoot be allowed to deliver remarks after the meeting.
Lightfoot was in attendance at the public gathering, but Henyard denied the request, which she deemed 'political grandstanding.'
She called for a hasty adjournment of the meeting, which upset many members of the audience.
But Lightfoot stood anyway and made her way to the podium, where she was able to briefly address attendees before her microphone was cut off by the mayor's staff.
In a statement released after the meeting, Lightfoot commended the board's decision to override Henyard's veto. She also underscored her commitment to conducting a thorough and fair investigation.
'I look forward to the work ahead and urge Mayor Henyard and her administration to fully cooperate with this investigation by promptly providing the requested documentation to give all concerned a complete and accurate accounting of the fiscal conditions for the village,' Lightfoot said.
At present, Henyard is under federal investigation, and was recently served federal subpoenas seeking records about trips taken by city officials and potential financial mismanagement.
The 40-year-old municipal leader has developed a nationally terrible reputation for her confrontational antics, failure to do her job, alleged corruption and apparent disdain for her constituents, whom she has berated publicly and once with the assistance of a DJ.
In mid-January, Henyard visited Washington, D.C., for the U.S. Conference of Mayors Annual Winter Meeting, as she filmed her experience, which included meeting President Joe Biden.
According to Fox 32, the embattled mayor incorrectly billed $9,167 to taxpayers who do not live in Dolton, Illinois, where she is mayor. Instead, she used a credit card for Thornton Township to pay for the hefty expenses.
Since her election in 2021, Henyard has faced allegations of corruption, fraud and financial mismanagement, including a lawsuit filed a month ago claiming she worked to cover-up a sexual assault on a trip to Las Vegas in 2023.
Dolton trustees have estimated that the village in Cook County is approximately out of $5million due to Henyard's trips, multiple lawsuits against her, credit card usage and her police security detail.
