Last Sunday, the Thornton Township Supervisor used Village of Dolton property, and Thornton Township funds, equipment, personnel, and food bank to support her "Friends of Tiffany Henyard" campaign in her bid for reelection as township supervisor.

"This is nothing more than the illegal use of public funds, property, or credit for campaign and electioneering purposes. It cannot be tolerated at any level and needs to be prosecuted."

Leading up to and after the "Friends of Tiffany Henyard" campaign event:

"We urge the township board to calculate the financial damages (vehicles, personnel hours, use of tents, food boxes, webpage, Facebook page, and everything else) and formally demand Henyard immediately reimburse the township for all of it," stated an anonymous source. The source continued by urging that the township board file a criminal complaint with the Cook County Sheriff and Cook County State’s Attorney demanding action.

Photos of some of the winnings from Bingo were also shared online.
