Dolton Mayor Tiffany Henyard called village police after observing workers removing banners bearing her image from city streets, according to bodycam footage.
The welcome banners, which display Henyard's picture and her self-title of"supermayor," were removed at the direction of a majority of Dolton trustees.Bodycam footage from an officer called to the scene shows Henyard asking workers removing the banners who gave them orders to complete the work.
Henyard said she was going to press charges against the workers and the village manager for taking down government property in the footage.According to North Carolina-based Mosca Design, the vendor behind the banners, the village is in debt for both banners and holiday decorations.“We have not received any payment for the banners or the brackets,” Dawn Harmon of Mosca Design said. “The total is $19,899.60 with the freight. It is very frustrating.
“Let us pick them up and wipe the slate clean,” Harmon said."This community has so many other things it needs to work on.”
