It became evident that Thornton Township's trustees were grappling with significant trust issues when they refused to second Henyard's motion to pay routine township bills. This refusal had a profound impact on the proceedings. ๐ณ๐ผ
"I motion that we pay the bills for the general fund. Is there a second? Is there a motion to second?" Henyard requested.
The response? Crickets. ๐ฆ
Earlier, board members had proposed several ordinances to be added to the meeting agenda. These were not just any proposals, but crucial ones that aimed to impose significant restrictions on elected officials to prevent misuse of township funds, establish travel guidelines, and set strict limits on spending and salaries. ๐๐ซ๐ธ
These proposals emerged in the wake of controversies surrounding Henyard, who has faced allegations of misusing public funds for personal gain and lacking transparency in her financial dealings. ๐ฐ๐ต๏ธโโ๏ธ
The trustees' refusal to make decisions directly resulted from the crucial items being omitted from the agenda. This made them dig in their heels and resist any further actions. ๐ โโ๏ธ๐ซ
The failure to include proposed ordinances on the agenda raises serious concerns about adherence to proper procedures and transparency. This omission may potentially violate open meeting laws, a serious breach of governance standards. ๐โ๏ธ
