A scheduled meeting in Thornton Township Wednesday night was canceled before it was able to get off the ground.

With no trustees in attendance, the special Thornton Township meeting called by Thornton Township Supervisor Tiffany Henyard ended before it began, but Henyard saw an opportunity to speak uninterrupted to the small group of people in the room.

“This is me making my statement. If you guys do not want to hear this, there’s the door,” Henyard said. “This is not a Q&A, this is me giving my statement so the residents know what’s going on in Thornton Township.”

“The residents already know you’re stealing from them,” an audience member replied.
