The FBI is reportedly investigating Dalton, Illinois Mayor Tiffany Henyard following allegations of misconduct. A local business owner claims he faced repercussions for not donating to an event organized by the mayor. Henyard, a controversial Democratic figure, has been under scrutiny for various incidents, including a video where she defended her spending decisions by attributing criticism to her race and gender.
Henyard's salary of $300,000, in a town with a median income of $24,000, has raised eyebrows. The business owner, who reported the alleged coercion to the FBI, stated that his business license renewal was denied by the village of Dalton. He is one of six individuals who have spoken to the FBI about the mayor's conduct.
Despite these claims, a public relations firm representing Mayor Henyard has stated that she has not been contacted or subpoenaed by law enforcement agencies. The situation continues to develop as the FBI delves into the allegations of misconduct surrounding the mayor.
