Nexstar Media Inc. Sues Village Of Dolton Illinois For Refusing To Release Spending Records And Documents Related To Embattled Mayor Tiffany Henyard
Nexstar Media Inc. is suing the Village of Dolton, Illinois, for refusing to release spending records and documents related to the embattled Mayor of Dolton, Tiffany Henyard, in Dolton, Illinois, United States, on June 2, 2024. Last November, WGN Investigates sent Dolton a public records request, seeking copies of the agency's credit card statements, as well as records relating to Henyard's compensation and the cost of her taxpayer-funded vehicle. The Village of Dolton is declining to release the records, in violation of state law. WGN is filing an appeal with Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul's office, and in a rare binding opinion dated Feb. 9, the attorney general is ordering Dolton to release the credit card statements, along with other requested documents. The Village of Dolton is not complying and releasing the records. (Photo by Kyle Mazza/NurPhoto)
