After a fight broke out at last week’s Thornton Township board meeting, the board’s attorney is asking the state for permission to hold meetings remotely.

The meeting is also the first since an independent investigation​ found widespread financial mismanagement in the troubled south suburb.

CBS2 reports that a member of the public took Supervisor Tiffany Henyard to task and used an expletive, sparking a brawl at Tuesday's meeting.

Extra security was in place Monday night for a Dolton Village Board meeting, following a brawl last week at a board meeting for Thornton Township.

During the brawl, Supervisor Tiffany Henyard herself ran from her seat at the table in the front of the room to intervene.

This was also the first Dolton Village Board meeting since an independent investigation found widespread financial mismanagement in the troubled south suburb. As Jermont Terry reports, Dolton Mayor Tiffany Henyard was not there.
