They say absolute power corrupts absolutely, but power doesn’t change someone — it only exaggerates what’s already inside the person who wields it. NY Post contributor Adam B. Coleman shares this story.

Unfortunately, many elected officials do this by standing on the necks of the people who helped put them into power.

In a matter of a few years, Dolton, Ill., Mayor Tiffany Henyard’s designer shoes have snapped the neck of prosperity of this small village outside Chicago.

The 40-year-old self-proclaimed “super mayor” is ignoring Freedom of Information Act requests to see the 20,000-resident village’s budget even as she plasters her face on billboards around town — a somewhat ominous Happy Valentine’s Day message read, “I love you, and there’s nothing you can do about it!”

Meanwhile, she’s turned Thornton Township’s bank account — she’s also the 190,000-resident township’s supervisor — into her personal piggy bank by taking lavish first-class trips to cities around the country, including New York and Las Vegas, spending upwards of $67,000 of township funds.

One Dolton trustee, Brittney Norwood, says the embattled mayor refuses to open the books for the board and the public to scrutinize her spending.
