Sparks fly between Supermayor Tiffany Henyard and Lori Lightfoots at chaotic Dolton Board meeting

It was all but a bench-clearing brawl inside Dolton Village Hall on Monday night.

Tempers had simmered for hours as village residents chided Mayor Tiffany Henyard for dodging questions about village business and spending.

"It doesn't matter how many questions we ask you. You don't ever answer," said Vivian, a meeting attendee.

Henyard repeatedly fired back. But it was the silent, lurking presence of Chicago's former mayor-turned paid private investigator Lori Lightfoot that severed any sense of order.

Four of Dolton's six trustees initially hired Lightfoot in April to dig into the Henyard's spending and village records. And Monday night, trustees moved to override a mayoral veto on paying Lightfoot to carry out that investigation.
