Dolton Mayor Tiffany Henyard scored a victory Friday when an appellate court ruled that June 28 votes to recall her from office were invalid.
Tiffany Henyard reacts after being sworn in as Dolton mayor in May 2021.
Voters approved the second question on whether to recall Henyard as mayor with 56% of the vote and a margin of 424 votes. The mechanism to recall the mayor was not legal until the county clerk certified results several weeks after the June 28 election, her attorneys argued. The appellate court agreed.“The trustees were clearly determined to use their authority to remove Henyard from office immediately regardless of the fact that Illinois law does not provide for the recall of village officials and the fact that the village had not previously adopted a recall mechanism by referendum,” the court ruled.
Attorneys for the trustees argued unsuccessfully that the lack of legal precedents and the fact that Dolton is a home-rule community should mean the Village Board’s recall questions were valid.The court seemed to agree with the argument made by attorneys for Henyard that putting the cart and the horse on the same ballot rendered both questions invalid.
