Thornton Township swears in new board of trustees amid ongoing Tiffany Henyard investigation
South suburban Thornton Township has a new board of trustees.
The new board was sworn in during a special meeting Monday, amid an ongoing federal investigation into former township supervisor Tiffany Henyard.
