Some Mayors Get to Write Their Own Queenly Tickets

A mayor of a small, unassuming town on the outskirts of Chicago where the median income is $24K per year, has been living the life of a royal as she is deemed by critics to exhibit antics that are both corrupt (meaning, what they consider an overuse of her power) and hilarious to the point where she belongs on a comedy show like “Parks and Recreation.”

Tiffany Henyard, a progressive Democrat, was elected as the Mayor of Dolton, Illinois, in the April 2021 municipal elections. She is also the supervisor of Thorton Township. For those positions, she brings home more than the state’s governor – nearly $300k. She calls herself a “Super Mayor” and frequently posts messages that suggest that “God chose me.”

In one of the greatest examples derided by critics, Henyard put an ordinance in place that if she lost her election to be mayor in the upcoming elections, the future mayor’s salary would be reduced from over $200K to $25,000. But if Henyard wins, the salary would remain the same, Fox 32 found.

The move was seen by critics as a way of scaring away her competition.
