Over the past year, I kept “meaning” to get more involved in local politics. This story really brings home how important it is. Thank you for inspiring me to take the first step!
She didn't even have the class - or the fear - to do her embezzlement in private. Thank you for covering. I have to remind neighbors to vote. Voting has been devalued under a guise to make it easier. In LA, there is voting by mail or voting in person for a week. Even for me, the perception is that ordering my coffee has more intrinsic value. We don't pay attention and nepotism and serious corruption run amok. (One hint: if anyone running has a background in social work, vote for the other candidate.) George Soros and other anti-democratic entities realized long ago that local is the way to go. Soros didn't get his money and almost brought the UK to its financial knees, by being a stupid man. We need to study and follow his playbook. Local is everything.
She reminds me of her sister, Rita Crundwell, who served almost 30 years as treasurer of Dixon, Illinois, Reagan's hometown. By the Crundwell standard of $54 million of taxpayer $ stolen, Henyard is a lightweight. Maybe Rita and Tiffany can share an Illinois prison cell. https://www.allthequeenshorsesfilm.com/
Watching that documentary is devastating. There were zero checks and balances, and the mayor who showed no interest in finding out why the coffers kept getting drained (It was a secretary that discovered the drain hole) had the brazenness to try to get re-elected. A criminal can get by with quite a bit if the ones who should care just bury their heads in the sand.
This story brought that one to mind as well. No one stopped to think or question how in the world she could afford all those show horses because she came off as so efficient. Didn't some small slip-up cause her fall?
The criminal was gone for the day and her secretary called the bank to have the account statement ready so she could pick it up. The boss had always picked it up but if my memory serves, she was at a horse show. To her confusion, the bank asked her if she wanted statements for "both" accounts (she only knew of one account). The fact that there was never an audit all those years shows, and the lack of curiosity from the bank, shows how there were many people unqualified for their jobs. I also believe many knew but looked the other way as she passed money their way. It seems every time I hear one of these stories and then dig into the details, there are never any basic accounting checks and balances, such as two-person signatures, separate approval and signature authorities, and no audits. Then even when there are some procedures in place, they are ignored, such as the two-person signing.
In LA, there is so much corruption that the FBI should have a dedicated office to the politicians. But no one cares because we've been beaten down to accept it as the norm. Instead of handing out turkeys, as our politicians are the turkeys, other goodies are handed out and unions are conscripted to get out the vote. Pointing to white men as the source of problems is just another smoke and mirrors trick. My head hurts when woke men -always affluent middle-aged white males and women argue that men have mucked things up. I assume when it comes to white-collar crime, women are just as prone to corruption. And perhaps, worse because we justify it.
I haven't heard of anyone justifying any white-collar crime committed by a female. The only one I've heard some try and justify was the Mississippi welfare fraud mess involving a retired quarterback. I've heard he was justified in trying to get back some of his taxes paid. Plenty of people muck things up and some men have been contributing to the muck for thousands of years. Now we know women are just as capable of either making things better or mucking it up. I'm scorched earth when it comes dealing with corruption by public employees and elected officials. I believe the sentences need to have absolute minimums, with no chance of parole.
It is more in general that there is an assumption that women don't do evil. It is so condescending it makes my head hurt. And I agree with sentencing public officials to the max.
I see an assumption that women are either perfect or evil, with no forgiveness for anything in between. The perfect princess or the witch. Like men, women are capable of being decent human beings but also capable of messing up sometimes. I'm reminded of a criminology (my major) professor I had that was discussing a female sociopath and he said "She was worse than the male sociopaths." I don't know how anyone can be "worse" than Ted Bundy, the ripper gang, Dylan Roof, etc. I would say she is just as bad as her fellow male sociopaths, but I believe he was coming from a view of females as the upholders of morality.
You are correct. Most look at the glamorous aspects of society, presidents and prime ministers. But much of the damage is done locally.
Alas Henyard is a reflection of the decline of a nation. She is also a warning about the limits of democracy. Not everyone is capable of thinking and yet they can all vote. When you extend the franchise without any qualification, then the quality of politicians drops. Some qualifier, like being a net contributor, is always a help.
Well done for covering it though. Few bother with local politics.
I've been following this for quite some time but once I saw other outlets we're covering it, I decided to pitch it. I appreciate the NY Post for giving me these opportunities.
I did a podcast Sept 23, 2022 about the importance of local elections. I'm not a big voice but I'm smart enough to know what we the people should be focused on. Your mayor, your chief of police, your state representative, all can turn your life upside down faster than the feds.

Glad to inspire
You are doing what citizens should, brother: REPORTING ON IT. If this finds ONE person in Dalton it will go exponential. If it doesn't, doom on them.
