At the meeting, which was a marked by repeated disruptions and people being led out, the board laid off eight village employees, citing village finances, and limited village credit card spending. "Speaking to the accounting department, we are in financial disaster," said Dolton Trustee Kiana Belcher."Sometimes, people have to follow the leader, because sometimes, the leader is the visionary.
