The amount of tax dollars wasted by elected officials on “security” is staggering.

Supermayor enroute to Supermax.

In a text back to the former Governor, “Rod I don’t really think I can use the ‘testicular fortitude’ line, like you did, but thanks for the tip.”

That SUV was parked in a no-parking zone right in front of the Attorney General’s Office. Guess she can do whatever she wants!! Maybe the 3 City of Springfield and Capital Police could have made it move?
To the caption “A $90,000 vehicle bought to you by the taxpayers.”

Why aren’t there any handles on the inside of these doors?

She showed up on the brand spanking new SUV with police lights flashing and a security detail. She’s mayor of freakin’ Dolton. Can the Feds get on with it already.

Better talk to her like your talking to the Feds directly

Dolton Mayor pushes hard against bill to limit campaign money from being used for legal issues.

I mean seriously.
I remember convicted felon and former Cicero mayor and felon Betty Loren-Maltese being driven around by a security detail just like this.

I don’t understand why she hasn’t been indicted yet. She blatantly uses taxpayer money for her own purposes and uses the police to strong arm donations

Cmon lady, outta the car, we are repossessing it because Dalton hasn’t paid the lease for the past 6 months.

I need a chauffeur because they allow me to get work done while being driven around. It’s a better use of my time.

Gimme a minute, I got a $10 in my wallet somewhere.

Where’s the step stool? This thing is so high I need a step stoop to get out.
Comment by Huh? Wednesday, Apr 17, 24 @ 2:03 pm
Can I shut the door? Traffic is backing up down the street.
Comment by Huh? Wednesday, Apr 17, 24 @ 2:05 pm
Come on lady, in or out. Make up your mind.
Comment by Huh? Wednesday, Apr 17, 24 @ 2:06 pm
The latest in a long line of trips from the Statehouse to the Big House.
Comment by Tear One Wednesday, Apr 17, 24 @ 2:15 pm
I’m with Former Downstater on this one. Random mayors don’t need security on the public dime.
Comment by Homebody Wednesday, Apr 17, 24 @ 2:22 pm
- Ma’am, the protectee is never allowed to sit directly behind the driver. That’s a regulation. Nobody does it. Not the president, not anybody.
- The sun will be on that side, and I do not want the sun.
- Perhaps you could sit on the proper side but slightly then to the middle.
- Nope.
- Ma’am, excuse me… but we are not leaving this house until you are seated properly…

Tiffany Henyard isn’t some “random mayor”, she is the mayor of Dalton and the Thornton Township supervisor. /s

Can the General Assembly finally look at abolishing township government in Illinois?

Joe Bloe for the win.

Homebody, it’s not just random mayors. How many Chicago alders still have drivers? Check out the current MWRD President’s entourage.

Yes Mayor it will be the same procedure when we pull up to the Dirksen building, so this is good practice.

Who wants to give me a “gratuity”? Those are legal, right?

Is Mayor Henyard waiting for her driver to lay down the red carpet?
Comment by Rudy’s teeth Wednesday, Apr 17, 24 @ 4:24 pm
The Mayor pauses after hearing that there is no state grant program to put government officials’ photos on every surface in a town.
Comment by OneMan Wednesday, Apr 17, 24 @ 4:44 pm
Harvey used to have a Mayor like that. So sad
Comment by Eddy Wednesday, Apr 17, 24 @ 5:47 pm
At least, Mayor Henyard’s driver is not wearing a chauffeur’s uniform for the trip to Springfield.
Comment by Rudy’s teeth Wednesday, Apr 17, 24 @ 6:04 pm
She also stopped by the IML reception at ALPML with the same Entourage.
