the absence of two trustees Christopher Gonzalez and Carmen Carlile who had served under henyard when she was a Township supervisor they skipped a critical board meeting due to concerns about the lack of transparency around the agenda and The Village's finances their absence made it impossible for the board to vote on selecting a new trustee further deepening the governance crisis the ongoing power struggle between henyard and the trustees intensified when henyard attempted to appoint a new police chief Ronald barar without board approval a village spokesperson labeled the move illegal adding another layer of complexity to the
already complex situation Gonzalez expressed concern questioning why henyard was so desperate to push through a meeting he and Carlile were cautious about giving henyard unchecked power especially in relation to financial decisions fearing a return to the dubious spending practices of the past the situation was further Complicated by the controversial appointment of lacy Burge as interim police chief Burge had a legal history involving allegations of bankruptcy fraud and the Illinois Law Enforcement Training and Standards Board ruled that he was not qualified to serve due to missing paperwork and a lack of recent re-qualification the controversy surrounding
his appointment only deepened with henyard Administration facing increasing legal scrutiny burge's appointment was temporarily Allowed by a judge for 30 days but several of hen yard's decisions were eventually overturned meanwhile the landlord tenant dispute between henyard and Janetta Hull highlighted the mayor's personal instability Hull disclosed that henyard and her partner had not paid rent since August accumulating thousands of dollars in late fees in back rent in February despite henyard lawyer refuting these claims Hull asserted that henyard and her partner had changed the locks and garage code to Bar her from entering the property the eviction
case which was still ongoing underscored the personal and financial turmoil that surrounded the mayor even henards public relations efforts faltered her annual turkey giveaway intended as a Goodwill gesture was criticized as a transparent attempt to divert attention from the ongoing scandals some residents saw the timing of the event as a last ditch effort to Garner public support while deflecting from pressing Township issues the event promotion through widespread posters only fueled the discontent with some residents comparing the mayor's tactics to those of Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro viewing it as political propaganda meant to manipulate public opinion

Billboards meant to reinforce her Public Image instead symbolized her growing disconnection from the concerns of the people she governed while residents weren't against her having a security detail the use of public funds for personal enrichment and harsh tactics to quash descent stirred widespread calls for accountability and change the Public's mistrust of henards extravagant spending and perceived misuse of resources sparked outrage the situation escalated further when henard called the police on workers removing banners featuring Her Image titled super mayor further showcasing her increasingly authoritarian approach to leadership has this turkey giveaway so it isn't anything new
