Corruption On A Scale Only Seen In US Government Dolton, Illinois Mayor Tiffany Henyard’s spending sprees added $5 million in debt in just 2 yrs. Armed security protect her from questioning. Investigation finds tax payers are paying $13,000 EACH EVERY 2 WEEKS for her security “But when we asked Henyard a few months ago about her use of tax dollars, she was quickly hustled out of the room by armed security. And on Facebook, in videos posted by Hanyard herself, we see her being driven around and surrounded by Dalton officers, which got us to wondering, why all the cops? We weren't opposed to her having the security detail. We asked how long ark. And how often? Dalton trustee Brittany Norwood says Hennure began assembling her details shortly after being elected in 2021 using handpicked Dalton police officers. Using a freedom of information request, we obtained the work records for 6 of the officers assigned to Hanyard's security detail at various times r and showed them to some of Dalton's trustees. This is a freedom of information request we did to see how much overtime these officers are on her security detail. Oh, wow. 162 hours. 162. Oh, that's nothing. What goes through your mind when you see these numbers? Our Uh, it it's it's disappointing. It's frustrating. The officers are paid every 2 weeks, which without overtime is 80 hours. But when they're put on Hennard's detail, that 80 hours balloons to well over a 100 hours, sometimes 200 hours. Ark. And in the case of officer Terry Young last May, 303 hours worked over a 2 week period. Our That resulted in a single paycheck of more than $13,000. How? How does a person put in a 2 armed pay period. 303 hours. That's impossible. That's impossible. It's 336 hours. Go to sleep? In fact, there are 336 hours hours total in 2 weeks, meaning Young was not being paid for only 33 hours over that period. Other officers on the security detail are also racking overtime paychecks in the multiple 1,000 of dollars. Do you mind if I ask you a couple questions about your security detail? Absolutely not.” This woman is corrupt to the core, previously: Tiffany A. Henyard, Mayor of Dolton, Illinois denies her salary of $300,000 per year. Proven true by her tax filing Spent $24k of tax payer money on restaurants in 1 year. Thousands on first class flights, Vegas trips, Vegas strip dining. Frequent trips to Bubba Gump Shrimp Company & Hot and Juicy Crawfish. Thousands on hotel and short term vacation rentals. The city mayor also just signed for a $149,000 Chevy Tahoe. How do these people get elected?

Unparalleled Corruption In Illinois Continues Dolton, Illinois Mayor Tiffany Henyard Has Now Signed A Check For $561,000 To Repave Her Mom’s Home Driveway With Tax Payer Money. She’s Also Removed All Other City Members From Being Able To Sign For Spending Except For Herself “Just for the record, um, and the reason, I guess, uh, I want all of the citizens to know why we're so adamant about this budget and what's going on. May 12, 2021, a resolution was passed. The following persons are hereby authorized to be added as signatures for all city accounts, mayor Tiffany Hanyard, village clerk, Allison Key. Any prior signatures or individuals visuals authorized and hereby removed from the accounts prior authorization is revoked. Number of signatures required are a combination of both signatures. At the approval of payment by the village board, each check Shelby signed by the mayor and the clerk. We have a half $1,000,000 check signed by mayor Tiffany Hanger. Yeah. I wonder why we worried about the money. This is why we worried about the money. $561,000 check with 1 signature on there. It's a problem. That mean that money is being spent. And after, we don't find out till after the check's been cashed. That's why we up here complaining about it. Shout out to trustee Belcher. Trustee Belcher is all about transparency, all about accountability, and she is Simply doing her job as a trustee. No 1 person is supposed to have the power to write checks in a public office for over a half $1,000,000. Nobody is supposed to have that much power, which is why 2 signatures are required. And this is what you call checks and balances. Now trustee Belcher and trustee House, in real life, they have financial experience as CFOs, So they know all about financial audits. They know all about checks and balances. This city girl mayor does not. She's walking around acting like she's Scarface. Shout out to all the board of trustees holding her accountable. Trustee Norwood, trustee Brown, Belcher in house. These are the adults in the room, and the Super city girl mayor is more like the 40 year old, 2 year old who's storing temper tantrums and destroying the place. So who was this $561,000 check written out to? It was written out in April of 2022 To a construction group called K5 Construction. This company is responsible for a lot of the concrete work in the village of Dalton, like paving sidewalks. But here's another thing. The mayor can never do anything for the, quote, people without doing something for herself. So one of the first things she did was Get her driveway paved. Before she became mayor, she reported that she still lived at her mom's house. And that was a project at the top of her list for tax Spares to pay for. Her own house or to be exact, her own mom's house. Whatever. Whatever. I do what I want. We're talking about Daunton, Illinois. Population about 20,000 people. For years, you had Daunton residents begging to have their streets repaired. Look at this.” This woman is corrupt to the core, previously: Tiffany A.

American Government Is Corrupt To The Core All Across Florida Elected Officials Are Now Vacating Their Jobs Due To A New Law Requiring They Release Financial Documentation At The Beginning Of The Year “Officials all across the state are abruptly resigning before the new year. We're talking about the vice mayor in Naples, 4 city council members in St. Pete Beach, including the vice mayor, 4 council members in Bel Air Beach, the mayor and a council member, Indonellon, 2 city commissioners in Daytona Beach Shores, and there are even more, way too many to list. FOX thirty five's Chris Lindsay is joining us live from Daytona Beach Shores tonight. So, Chris, this is all over a new law that's about to go into effect. Yes. Starting January 1st, elected officials will have to fill out form 6. It discloses all of their financial information. And all over the state of Florida officials are stepping down because they believe that form is an invasion of privacy. We don't get a dime for what What we do here, we do this for the love of our community. Bel Air Beach mayor Dave Gaddis says 4 of his five 5 council members have resigned ahead of the new year, all because of a new form they will have to fill out starting January 1st. It requires them to Share their net worth and the dollar amount of every asset they own over $1,000. The goal to achieve and identify conflicts of interest. Why did it suddenly have to become so invasive? We were Already reporting our our financial situation, uh, but now they want it so granular that, um, it Almost looks like an attack on home rule and an attack on small, uh, municipalities. In Daytona Beach Shores, 2 commissioners have stepped down, leaving just 3 left until the city can fill the empty seats in March. Commissioner Richard says he was planning to resign for other reasons. As I'm working on an extremely important public health effort. But the news of this new law Fed up his decision. I think it will have the effect of significantly reducing the number of qualified people who are willing to run for our local office. I mean, your net worth doesn't have anything to do with the conflict of interest. I reached out to Lake Mary state senator Jason Brodeur who the new law, which the governor signed back in May. He issued a statement which partially reads, in a city, you can spend $10s of millions of with as little as 3 votes. Taxpayers deserve transparency. If a simple disclosure that Hundreds of other elected officials already do make someone quit, then voters should be glad. And another City councilor who stepped down here in Daytona Beach Shores just walked up a couple of moments ago. He didn't wanna be on camera, but he said that It is indeed an invasion of this privacy. He says that today is his last day, and his tenure is over at midnight tonight.”

Meet Tiffany Henyard the Democrat Mayor of Dolton, Illinois just minutes away from Chicago Where do I even begin? Henyard has turned the town into a complete clown show and she is the Queen In a town where the medium income is $21,000, Henyard increased her pay to $200,000 and that's not it, she also put an illegal ordinance in place that says if she loses her reelection to be mayor, the future Mayor's salary would be reduced to $25,000 That's also not it, Henyard also serves as the Supervisor of Thorton Township and brings in another $100,000. Her combined salary of $300,000 is more than the Governor of the State of Illinois I'm not done. Henyard has made the police her personal bodyguards and they accompany her wherever she goes as though she is the Queen of the City She spends taxpayer money on giant billboards of herself She regularly takes trips across the country and has gone to Vegas using taxpayer dollars, racking up expenses close to $10,000 eating at lavish restaurants, staying in great hotels, flying first class etc One time, Henyard locked the office of the elected Assessor of Thornton Township because they had a disagreement Henyard was recalled after hiring convicted gang rapists to be Code Enforcement Officer, 56% of voters voted in favor of the recall but Illinois courts tossed out the results of the recall I can't say I feel bad for the people in her district, they literally voted for her with overwhelming margins

⚡️Campaign Finance 🧵: Letitia James When I got asked to look into Letitia James’ financials last week, I really wasn’t expecting to find much. As you probably know, James is the Attorney General of New York who just secured a $454 million judgement against Donald Trump.
@Villgecrazylady - Mel
James was elected as the NY AG in 2018 and re-elected in 2022. Prior to that James was the NYC “public advocate” for 4 years and a NYC city council member for 8 years prior to that. Prior to elected office she was a public defender for Legal Aid.
@Villgecrazylady - Mel
IOW Letitia James is a lifelong public servant and other than a mishap in the 2010s where she neglected to list the Brooklyn brownstone she owns & rents out on her financial disclosure forms, she hasn’t had any public scandals.
@Villgecrazylady - Mel
With that being said, I’m not quite sure what I was expecting to find but I do know I wasn’t expecting what I found.
@Villgecrazylady - Mel
The first thing you’ll notice when you download and sort the expenditures of any politician running for reelection in a safe seat is how they use their campaign funds to supplement their lifestyles to a degree middle America could never dream of.
@Villgecrazylady - Mel
What do I mean? Well, in 2023 alone, James spent over $28,500 on hotels. Over $15,000 of that was spent on luxury hotels in Puerto Rico. https://t.co/MSG9RThmNj
@Villgecrazylady - Mel
Then there’s the airfare. In the 5 years she’s been the New York State AG, James’ has spent over $84,000 on airfare to fly herself all over the country. This includes private jet rentals. https://t.co/jihZzOALgO
@Villgecrazylady - Mel
She’s billed her campaign over $20,000/year for meals. And no, these aren’t large catering events. These are receipts for everything from $18 at Dunkin Donuts to $60 at Dave & Busters to $165 at an oyster bar in Massachusetts and then $700 at a steakhouse in Brooklyn.
@Villgecrazylady - Mel
Then there’s thousands spent on Ubers and Lyfts. Tens of thousands spent on “office” at everywhere from Target to BJ’s wholesale. Over $7,000 dropped at a nightclub in NYC and billed as “office.” https://t.co/lWswXt5IyQ
@Villgecrazylady - Mel
I could go on… the multiple stays at the Beverly Hills Wilshire, the $65,000 in “reimbursements” to “campaign consultants” which could literally be anything.
@Villgecrazylady - Mel
Speaking of campaign consultants, can anyone tell me why a state Attorney General would need to spend over $300,000 in a single year on campaign consultants when they *just* won re-election the previous November? What could she possibly be consulting on?
@Villgecrazylady - Mel
Furthermore, why do these million dollar “campaign consultancy firms” always seem to be ran out of random 2 bedroom apartments? https://t.co/jWTTjwVJzc
@Villgecrazylady - Mel
TBC I’m not accusing Ms. James of breaking the law w her expenditures. But considering the high bar she set for Trump in his civil fraud case, I find it more than a little galling that she plays so fast and loose w what she deems to be “legitimate campaign expenses.”
@Villgecrazylady - Mel
$4,335 at “Nathan’s Luxlifestyle” on Martha’s Vineyard last August? Mmm hmm. $5,122 dropped at the “48 Lounge” in NYC last September under expense code “office.” Righhhtttt…. https://t.co/HjqgvkxBIB
@Villgecrazylady - Mel
So you might be wondering, where does all this money come from? Well here’s where things get interesting. Because it appears our holier than thou Attorney General, Ms. James, has gotten herself wrapped up in the ghost donor scam.
@Villgecrazylady - Mel
Now I knew the ghost donor bots weren’t just operating at the federal level but I had no clue how big it was at the state level. Here’s a list of Ms. James’ total donations and their corresponding receipts by year… anything jump out at you? https://t.co/Jl8Qj3NyAS
@Villgecrazylady - Mel
Obviously 2022 is off the charts. Over 32,500 receipts and over 62% are from out of state. Who the heck donates to an Attorney General, running in a totally safe seat, in a whole other state?! Answer: Ghost donors.
@Villgecrazylady - Mel
Take for instance this woman named Suzanne, from Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Ms. Suzanne has to be one of the most faithful Democrat donors on the planet. Not only did she make 3,232 individual donations to ActBlue in just one year (2022) totaling more than $46,193 https://t.co/e3bpi1Fi8J
@Villgecrazylady - Mel
But she also found the time and money to also make 25 separate donations (for $266) to Letitia James’ campaign and another 9 (for $305) to Kathy Hochul! And she didn’t stop there! I found Suzanne’s name on the donor rolls in Nevada, Idaho and Virginia! https://t.co/dvhSRzoOsx
@Villgecrazylady - Mel
Or how about this lovely old lady Barbara from Silver Springs, Maryland. Ms. Barbara, a retired 71 year old widow living in a modest townhouse, not only made 1547 donations to ActBlue at the federal level totaling more than $37,000 https://t.co/D5zNkvxVgA
@Villgecrazylady - Mel
She also gave Letitia James $610 total in 34 separate transactions and then she sprinkled some money in Nevada, Massachusetts and Wisconsin! https://t.co/GF8CcXgWel
@Villgecrazylady - Mel
I could go on but yall get the point. Almost every name I grabbed from James’ 2022 donor list had AT LEAST 200+ donations at the fed level for 2022 and tons of them had over 2,000. It turns out ghost donors are just as big of a problem at the state level as they are at the federal.
@Villgecrazylady - Mel
So to recap: we’ve got unknown entities funding our state and federal elections and everywhere you turn there’s a sleazy politician using this tainted campaign money to fund their extravagant lifestyles.

Corruption In America Is OUT OF CONTROL Cape Coral, Florida resident speaks out. Their Mayor and City Council dissolved their FREE, volunteer-based citizen groups, so that they could employ themselves to do the job. They then doubled their own salaries using tax payer funds. “This council voted to dissolve the CRA board with no notice or conversation with that board They then named a new board consisting of all the council members This week we have learned that City Council will vote tonight on giving themselves a stipend to cover the cost of their additional duties. This stipend is $6,000 per month for the Mayor, $3333 per month for each council member. That's a total of $351,972 per year to replace a group of volunteers who worked for free. I do not remember seeing those funds accounted for in the budget that was approved in September and for each council member an increase of 99%. I wonder how the city's union employees feel about this. I notice that this item is on the consent agenda, meaning that you would prefer it be kept in the dark with no discussion among yourselves. At age 76, I thought I had seen it all, but this council has erased that thought. After this council eliminated all the volunteer boards that they could get away with, we now know why. I can hardly wait to see how much they will pay themselves to perform the duties of the Budget Review Committee that I served on for seven years as a volunteer. This cash grab by this city council pretty much kills the respect and admiration I previously held for those who I thought had the public interest at heart. I suspect I'm not alone. We'll see you at the next election.”

WATCH: Chaos erupted in suburban Chicago when Tiffany Henyard, the most corrupt mayor in America who got busted for stealing tax funds to go on lavish vacations, got voted out of ONE of her positions She threw a fit while residents roared in cheers. She's now claiming the election was stolen from her. Henyard is the current Township Supervisor and Mayor of Dolton and is doing both jobs to maximize her earnings & corruption.

🚨🚨THERE IS NO QUESTION A CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE IS BEING RUN IN THE STATE OF ARIZONA BY THE CRIMINAL KATIE HOBBS. Investigation and prosecution by the FBI and the DOJ it’s long overdue. A: Katie Hobbs is now being investigated for bribery, fraud conspiracy and racketeering. The Chairman of the Joint Legislative Committee has informed Maricopa County's investigator that the Auditor General will assist in the investigation. This comes after The Arizona Republic detailed how state contractor Sunshine Residential Homes bribed Gov. Katie Hobbs and AZ Democrats with $400,000 and in returns got millions more in state money. "In my capacity as chairman of the Joint Legislative Audit Committee, I want you to know that the Auditor General’s Office stands ready to partner with you in getting the facts about this troubling matter. Make no mistake, we will allocate the resources the Auditor General needs to help restore what appears to be a major breach of trust in our government." B: Additionally Arizona State lawmakers are now investigating Katie Hobbs after $339 MILLION "disappeared." As Hobbs's budget director also mysteriously resigns, State Senator Alex Kolodin: "Imagine my shock when the Legislature was informed the State has several insolvent agencies and requires a $339 million bailout to close out the current Fiscal Year. Since your liaisons dedicated to briefing members of the Legislature failed to provide detail on how we got here, I am putting my request in writing: Arizonans deserve to know the details. Why did you mislead the legislature about the spending you intended to approve? In just two weeks' time, I've learned that the problem has worsened and that your office's request is now $350 million.”

How is this not national news?? 🚨 Democrat Governor of Maine Janet Mills’ brother pocketed $22 million into his shell company that was meant for towns in Maine “A year before she took office, her brother Peter Mills, received $22 million through a shell company called Western Mountains and Rivers Corporation. This company also received 670 acres of land on the Dead River, all courtesy of a company called Central Maine Power. When Janet Mills assumed office a year later, she immediately approved CMP to clear cut in 145 mile corridor through Western Maine without the endorsement of any of the localities affected, who were all in major disagreement with the decision. And that $22 million that was supposed to be spent on the towns appears to have been pocketed by this shell company run by Peter Mills, rather than being spent on the people it was actually supposed to.” “This is a clear example of political corruption in the state of Maine”

It looks like Governor Janet Mills isn’t the only corrupt Democrat in Maine Democrat Maine Rep “Chellie Pingree's net worth before joining politics was just $316,000. Just 4 years later, it spiked to $46 MILLION” “She bought an island vacation house just for fun and flies on a private jet from her island to her job in Washington DC” I guess Maine is PLAGUED with corrupt Democrats “It turns out that several politicians use under the table information to trade stocks and the fact that Chellie Pingree is in politics means she might also have access to that kind of information.”

Corruption in American Government is out of control A clerk in a small Wisconsin town of 8,000 people only works 3 days per week “The town clerk works Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and is MAKING $104,000 PER YEAR” I bet this is happening in towns all throughout America https://t.co/cLsui3QekE

WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT POLITICIANS PROFITING OFF OF INSIDER TRADING? EXAMPLE: Pelosi makes $174k per year - yet she has a net worth of $413M” "In 2024 Nancy Pelosi's stock portfolio grew by 70%, outperforming every single Hedge Fund." This is all done by Insider Trading, knowing what laws Congress is going to pass and which Corporations that will benefit (or sometimes harm), or major contracts the government is going to sign (or cancel), before the news reaches the markets or the general public.

⚡️Campaign Finance 🧵: Letitia James When I got asked to look into Letitia James’ financials last week, I really wasn’t expecting to find much. As you probably know, James is the Attorney General of New York who just secured a $454 million judgement against Donald Trump.
