Thornton Township (ECWd) –
Thornton Township and Tiffany Henyard have apparently continued its attack on media and residents – this time by demanding reporters sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) prior to being “permitted” entry into a Black History Event which was open to the public.
On February 24, 2024, a Lansing Journal reporter was denied entry into this public event because she refused to sign an NDA. No member of the general public was required to sign an NDA, but reporters were, as a condition of entry. A Southland Journal reporter was also denied entry to this event.
This comes on the heels of the Thornton Township Board of Trustees Meeting held on February 13, 2024, where the public and media were prevented from attending the meeting by Tiffany Henyard’s “security” detail. They also denied the public their right to speak at the board meeting. Holding secret meetings violates the Open Meetings Act, and this needs to be prosecuted.
Supervisor Henyard has a history of either preventing the public from attending meetings or having them removed from meetings simply because they disagree with her.
Henyard’s antics have been the subject of national media for the past month – we first started writing about her in September of 2021.

Those people really do think that they’re in charge. I can’t wait to see their faces when the indictments are unsealed.
She has been allowed to keep effing around too long already imo.
It’s long past time for the legal system and law enforcement to administer some finding out for her and her toadies!
I sure hope a major lawsuit against her is being filed. She cannot be allowed to get away with what she is doing.

Let’s bring it on.
Surely you aren’t arguing her action aren’t dictatorial…… are you?

Local govt has no authority to force anyone to sign an NDA when entering a public event. To do so is dictatorial
Hahahahaha! Some third world banana republic is missing their dictator
