Dolton voters — more than 50% — decided Tuesday to recall Mayor Tiffany Henyard.
Before the vote totals were fully counted Tuesday, Henyard had said she was disappointed in an Appellate Court's last-minute decision to allow the counting of the recall votes.
"I am disappointed in the Appellate Court’s decision requiring illegal recall votes to be counted in today’s election. The merits of this case are clear. It is an Unconstitutional referendum and while there is certainly no time to print new ballots, there is no valid reason to compel election authorities to count the votes," she said.
Henyard went on to say, "I had 82 percent of the support of the electorate in the 2021 election. The political opportunists behind this recall effort may very well regret asking the Court to allow the recall votes to be counted as they might not like the results.""We are grateful, honored and blessed to the voters of Dolton who firmly stood up against this morally corrupt Mayor. Never in the history of our town have we witnessed a mayor who has chosen to ignore ethics and the law.
