Embattled Mayor Tiffany Henyard fired back against the absent board members at the meeting Tuesday—accusing them of trying to take village action without her.

"Just pay attention to who's bringing all the drama to your community. Where are all the hecklers that's normally in the crowd? They're not here today," said Henyard. "Where's everybody that's got something to say when everybody is talking up here giving their opinion?
