As opposed to the Democratic caucus that kept Supervisor Tiffany Henyard off the ballot in Thornton Township’s upcoming election, Tuesday night’s meeting electing Stephanie Wiedeman as new trustee was orderly and contained.

His absence left the board divided, with Trustees Chris Gonzalez and Carmen Carlisle on one side and…
