Illinois State Comptroller Susana Mendoza has stopped state funding to the city of Dolton after Mayor Tiffany Henyard refused to turn over financial reports and a financial audit, as required by state law. Mendoza stated that she may impose fines on the city if the reports are not provided. Henyard is facing criticism for alleged extravagant spending, including a $40,000 expenditure on Amazon in one day. Despite having a $5.6 million surplus in April 2022, a investigation by former Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot revealed that the city is now facing a $3.6 million deficit.
