#2,431 - Tiffany Henyard’s top aide fired
Manage episode 432803218 series 2792715
Embattled south suburban politician Tiffany Henyard has fired her top aide in at least one of the governments she runs. It comes as speculation has swirled about whether federal prosecutors are pressuring Keith Freeman into cooperating in their ongoing investigation of Henyard’s leadership.
Keith Freeman served as Henyard’s senior advisor in Thornton Township and village administrator in Dolton. Records obtained by WGN Investigates show Freeman was fired from the township job on July 9. Freeman denied being fired and denied cooperating with federal investigators in a text message to WGN Investigates.
However, human resource records obtained via a Freedom of Information Act request show zero hours worked by Freeman for much of the month of June and into July. He received a written warning about chronic absenteeism on June 14 with an unidentified administrator writing: “I’m asking for better communication of [your] whereabouts and more time spent at the Township.”
