Isn't this the same mayor who has a security detail around her ? Sounds like she's just corrupt and should be investigated.

[c_lo]

Weird they can put a stop to a car show but cant stop criminals.

[ALLforROME]

YOU CAN TAKE THE RAT OUTTA THE HOOD BUT YOU CAN'T TAKE THE HOOD OUTTA THE RAT!

[inquizative]

How they allowed her to acquire 2 positions in city government at the same time is unreal and blatant abuse. She is a narcissist run amuck.

[Visiontech]

This is one of those things that screams corruption. He's had the show for 8 years and she just blocked it for no reason other than wanting to transfer to her area. This is criminal and she needs to be dealt with.

[joeschlotthauer]

Why was the Dolton police department involved? That really speaks of corruption.

[papayuki]

the mayor see's herself as the queen and what she says is law and if she closes down a event it is legal ... she needs to be recalled .... now

[demariosreefaquarium]

Used taxpayers funds to throw a parade for herself. 😅😅😅

[TT-mktw]

I don’t understand how she still the mayor… she has a bad reputation!

[oldfart]

Mayor needs to be charged with improper use of city funds and employees as well as harrassment and illegally blocking event .

[swanyay]

Unfortunately the Village of Dolton will vote for her again because we love familiarity and pandering

[duck]

When Dolton voters allows this to happen, and the questionable use of city funds she pulled a few months ago, it shows that the community is "OK" with this. I'm not wrong.

[Theywaswrong]

That small community, quarter million a year in pay, has spent too much time watching Al Sharpton, a guy yelling for taxpayers to pay more while he was evading paying his own taxes.

[strongbrave]

He paid $1, 000 to the park district. He is also required to pay $1, 000 in cash directly to the mayor. Because she is the Supermayor

[drjekelmrhyde]

This is the social media mayor they wanted. This woman spends their money on her own personal shiatshows

[DetroitNinja]

Dang, she wanted all that street cred for herself.

[mmmtacos]

It’s no wonder she’s got such a security detail, cuz you know being like this really puts a dot on your head I’m sure. I’d imagine a lot of people want her unalive

[snyderman]

As long as the police department is making money off of her they are going to protect her. The citizens are on their own. What tickles me is they have not recalled her yet.

[DonBrown-lvzc]

And her security team ripping off tax payers what a great mayor u have

[junkyarddog]

You all know when you see a gangster warlord running the show, someone needs to call the feds to get changes.
