Tiffany Henyard, the embattled former mayor of Dolton, Illinois, has launched a $99 autobiography titled ‘Standing on Business’ while facing ongoing legal challenges following her controversial tenure. The book, which is the first of a three-part series, is being self-published and has prompted mixed reactions from the public.
Henyard’s legal troubles continue as she pleaded the Fifth Amendment in court over a freedom of information lawsuit and was held in contempt for failing to produce public documents. Her attorneys argue that the documents requested are not available, and the case could be resolved with an affidavit. The controversy surrounding her tenure includes an FBI investigation and a financial probe that revealed a significant drop in the village’s budget.
Henyard’s announcement comes as she faces several legal woes stemming from her time as Dolton mayor and Thornton Township supervisor after her reelection bid proved unsuccessful. Earlier this month, Henyard pleaded the Fifth in a court hearing over a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit from her time at the helm.
