[NYPost] The FBI is probing self-described "super mayor" Tiffany Henyard over mounting accusations of misconduct and misuse of office — as the Illinois Attorney General shut down her charity Tuesday, The Post has learned.
The eccentric mayor — whose face is plastered across billboards in tiny Dolton, Ill. — is accused of spending taxpayer money on lavish an unnecessary trips and forking over one million dollars on a police detail then using them to retaliate against her percieved enemies.
Lawrence Gardner, 57, said he visited an FBI office after Henyard shuttered his trucking business because he refused to renew a $3,500 political contribution.
"The FBI came out and went to talk to me and I gave them all the paperwork that I had,"
The business owner said he made an initial donation to Henyard, but she demanded more.
"I made the payment," he said. "Then every year, she started coming and required the same thing, and we had a problem about that."
When he refused to give her campaign more money, officials claimed he was illegally selling alcohol out of his business and pulled his license, according to Gardner, who said the allegations against him were false.
The FBI told Gardner they received scores of complaints against Henyard "but they were just starting an investigation," he recalled.
"She said we are going to get her," he said, referring to an FBI agent. "It just takes time. We have to make sure we have all our i’s dotted and t’s crossed."
The FBI investigation, first reported by Fox 32, is also using electronic surveillance, the station reported.
Sherry Britton, a vocal Dolton resident, said the FBI paid her a visit last week, but she is remaining tight lipped on their advice.
"I want to see her stopped," Britton told The Post Wednesday. "This has to come to an end. This has to stop, it’s ridiculous."
A spokesperson for Henyard told The Post they are unaware of any investigation, saying: "Mayor Tiffany Henyard and the Village of Dolton have not received any subpoenas and have not been contacted by the FBI or any other law enforcement agency."
