CALUMET CITY â A dispute between two of the city's top elected officials went public Wednesday as Clerk Nyota Figgs and Mayor Thaddeus Jones traded allegations.
In a Wednesday morning rally and news conference across the street from City Hall at Pulaski Park, Figgs said, "I feel like I'm being bullied within the mayor's administration. ... I noticed that every time that I would operate in the capacity of my job ... and I would inform the mayor of policies and procedures or the state statute that relates to my job, I feel like there was some form of retaliation."
Jones responded to Figgs in a written statement released Wednesday afternoon.
