'America's worst mayor' Tiffany Henyard is slapped with yet another lawsuit - ... trends now
'America's worst mayor' Tiffany Henyard has been slapped with another lawsuit - this time from a local barber shop - as she clings to her job amid a tidal wave of corruption claims.
Longtime local barber Tyrone Isom Jr. is claiming the mayor's office improperly denied his permit to expand his business to a new commercial venue in the Chicago suburb of Dolton.
Isom says he purchased a property on Sibley Road with the intent to establish a new branch of his business, Elite Clientele LLC, but his venture was blocked on the whims of Henyard, 40.

In the civil suit filed with the Illinois Department of Human Rights, the alleged victim says she began to feel 'disoriented' and 'blacked out' during the trip to Las Vegas.
She said she has no memory of the night after that until waking up fully dressed in Holmes' bed, according to the documents seen by the Chicago Tribune.
