Trustees voted to fire two township employees that were placed on administrative leave last week after a brawl at a meeting, one of them being Supervisor Tiffany Henyard's boyfriend. She did not attend Thursday's meeting.
The Thornton Township board voted Thursday to fire two employees, including Dolton Mayor and Twp. Supervisor Tiffany Henyard 's boyfriend Kamal Woods.During a special afternoon meeting Thursday, Thornton Township trustees voted to fire two township employees that were placed on administrative leave last week, one of them Supervisor Tiffany Henyard 's boyfriend.The meeting was separate from members of public, who watched the meeting via livestream in another room.
Henyard's boyfriend, Kamal Woods, was in the middle of the dust-up last week. At this week's meeting, trustees voted to fire him from his township position leading an at-risk youth program, in part because of his involvement in the fight. "We have to be mindful of how we speak to each other, and I think as an employee you have to be extra mindful," Thornton Township Trustee Stephanie Wiedeman said.Trustees said Woods, who declined to comment on his firing, was already under scrutiny. Last week, the board voted to hire an independent auditor to probe his work and that of another employee also fired at the meeting."Well, that's one of the things we're definitely looking into," Trustee Gonzalez said.
The next township meeting is Tuesday of next week, and it's unclear if the public will again be in a separate room.
