Trustees walk out of Thornton Township meeting after disagreement over virtual appearance

Описание: Trustees Carmen Carlisle and Chris Gonzalez staged their second walk out this year after disagreements arose over whether another trustee could join a meeting virtually.

Trustee Stephanie Wiedeman requested to appear virtually for child care reasons. Supervisor Tiffany Henyard, who attended her first board meeting since a melee erupted at the hall in January, disagreed.

The Illinois Open Meetings Act allows an elected official to appear virtually if child care concerns arise. After Henyard, Gonzalez, and Carlisle bickered about the matter, the two trustees walked out.

Meeting date: March 11, 2025
