Her personal restitution fund. You see that a lot in black run cities. I’m sure it happens in other cities as well but it seldom seems as blatant.

Lightfoot presented her findings last night, and it's...interesting.
The troubled Illinois village led by “Dolton Dictator” Mayor Tiffany Henyard spent more than $43,000 in Amazon purchases in a single day — even as the municipality’s finances are in shambles, according to a damning new probe.
Dolton also spent big bucks on out-of-state trips and police overtime, according to the report released amid allegations that Henyard is using local police as her personal bodyguards in the Chicago suburb.
Ex-Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot revealed the monster expenditures during a meeting Thursday night, months after she was hired at $400 per hour to probe the village at the direction of trustees fighting back against Henyard.
“$40,000 at Amazon,” Dolton Trustee Kiana Belcher said following the report presentation.
“What a slap in the face to everybody that resides in 60419 zip code.”
She even went so far as to say that village taxpayers have been “financially raped.”
“And when people rape people, they get anything they deserve,” Belcher said cryptically, adding it’s “sickening.”
Henyard, who started her term in 2021, has faced allegations of misusing village funds and engaging in other corruption, including using the police for personal business.
The report, which includes only preliminary findings, did not connect the stunning spending directly to Henyard — though Lightfoot said the mayor’s office didn’t offer much cooperation during the first part of her probe and further investigation is needed. ...
Police costs jumped 21% from two years ago, with police overtime spiking by nearly $880,000, according to the report.
Average monthly expenses in the village have jumped almost 30% since the fiscal year in 2022, Lightfoot said.
She noted the village’s general fund, which is used to pay for most of Dolton’s expenses, has a negative balance of $3.65 million as of May 31. In April 2022, it was $5.61 million in the black.
