DOLTON, Ill. (WLS) — A local cleaning company says the village of Dolton owes them nearly $13,000.

The business owner says they were hired to clean the Dolton Police Department, when, all of a sudden, the village stopped making payments.

She called the ABC7 I-Team for help.

She’s furious and devastated.

The woman says she’s been waiting on the village of Dolton to send her a check for the missing payments for months.

Now, she says she’s in jeopardy of losing her cleaning business.

Teshinya Wilnewic was proud to support the village of Dolton and its police officers.

According to her, TNT Cleaning Solutions was contracted in 2023 to provide cleaning services for the police department during former Mayor Tiffany Henyard’s term.

“The agreement was we work twice a day, once on Saturdays, and the payment was $3,200 per month,” Wilnewic said.

The owner says, the first five months were great. They were paid on time by the village in full.

But then, she says, payment stopped.

“To have done the work and not get paid, not even an email sent, not partial payment, it’s devastating,” Wilnewic said.

She says the village owes her four payments: totaling $12,800.

The owner showed unpaid invoices, saying she had to tap into her savings to keep her business afloat.

“Everything has been exhausted now. Currently, we’re in a difficult situation, and they don’t even realize the impact they’ve had on us,” Wilnewic expressed. “I believed you could shed light on the situation. I’ve seen how you managed previous matters effectively, which is why I’m reaching out to you.”

A spokesman for Dolton mentioned: “The Village of Dolton acknowledges the vendor’s claim and understands that this, along with numerous other agreements, was established under the leadership of the former mayor and administration. As we work through the consequences left by the previous administration, we are diligently addressing these unresolved commitments.”

Wilnewic said she does not feel bad for the new mayor.

“Not at all because when you take on tenure from a previous mayor, you take on whatever they brought to the table and whatever is left. You have to rectify those situations, so, no,” Wilnewic said. “I need my money. Pay me my money, plain and simple.”

The village of Dolton said they’ve started a process of securing an outside firm to assist with organizing and verifying pending vendor payments and contracts.

The village says they’ve been in communication with the cleaning company and remain committed to finding a resolution that is both fair and fiscally responsible.

Henyard did not respond to a request for comment.
