Dolton board approves pro-tem replacement against scandal-ridden 'supermayor' Tiffany Henyard

There has been another twist in the ongoing saga in the small Chicago town of Dolton.

The board members of Dolton appointed a mayor pro tempore on Monday to serve in place of embattled Mayor Tiffany Henyard should she refuse to execute her duties, Fox 32 Chicago reports.

Trustee Jason House was voted in as mayor pro tempore – meaning for the time being – at a special meeting and could sign off on village business and pay bills in Henyard's absence.

Henyard, the self-described "supermayor" of Dolton, and Thornton Township Supervisor, has faced accusations of corruption and has drawn national attention to the small town which has a population of around 21,500. Dolton residents have called for Henyard's resignation, including booing her at the last Village Board meeting she attended.
