BREAKING NEWS – Dolton, Illinois – An embattled Illinois Democratic mayor is being accused of putting her professional wardrobe stylist on payroll at the taxpayer’s expense.

Before appearances at public meetings, Mayor Tiffany Henyard gets her hair, makeup and wardrobe done by a vendor named “Style Me Brandon,” owned by Brandon K. Momon, according to posts on his Instagram account.

“People can criticize me all they want,” she said to a reporter from WGN News. “But it is very important to me to look my best, while I’m embezzling funds from local taxpayers.”
