Dolton Mayor Tiffany Henyard contacted village police after witnessing workers remove “super mayor” welcome banners featuring her image from the city streets.

The majority of Dolton trustees directed the removal of the banners that had been installed on light poles along Sibley Boulevard during the summer.
Bodycam footage released by ABC News shows Henyard questioning workers who were removing the banners about who gave them the order to do so.
Henyard said she was going to press charges against the workers and the village manager for taking down government property in the footage.
As the video goes on, it shows workers give the banners to members of Henyard’s team.

According to North Carolina-based Mosca Design, the vendor behind the banners, the village is in debt for both banners and holiday decorations.
“We have not received any payment for the banners or the brackets,” Dawn Harmon of Mosca Design said. “The total is $19,899.60 with the freight. It is very frustrating. It is something we did based on her calling and taking her word and signed documents. We have implemented some changes to prevent this in the future.”
Although the company says that Henyard hasn’t paid, was it right for them to remove the banners from the city?
