Xernona Clayton SPEAKS: Contentious Street Renaming Legislation in Atlanta
*Exclusive Video*
The first Atlanta City Council meeting was a contentious one filled with 2.5 hours of public comment on the renaming of two small streets in downtown Atlanta. Opposition and support came from all private and public sectors throughout the City of Atlanta. At the end of the meeting, City Council members decided to send the street renaming legislation back to appropriate committees and appointed Commissions for review.
Atlanta has a strong history of renaming streets to honor those who have helped to build it. This time, opposition pointed out that street renaming was costly and was not the only option to honor influential folks. The street renaming legislation would change streets to honor icons Xernona Clayton and John Portman.
This video feed is the first of its kind showing Xernona Clayton speaking for herself. Weeks prior showcased others speaking on her behalf.

Wyclef Jean: Crooked Politician or Misunderstood Celebrity
*pictured, Jean and Khatou-Chevassus, pictures Contactmusic.com and NYPost.com
According to tax filings, YELE Haiti paid Zaikya Khatou-Chevassus about $147,000 for her time as “consultant” and “vice president” of Wyclef’s “foundation.”
This salary was substantially more than her salary in 2008; also more than the charity’s president Hugh Locke received. If you didn’t know, Ms. Khatou-Chevassus is known as Jean’s “his personal assistant and rumored mistress”…
Hopefully more information comes out to clarify the tax filings found by the New York Post. As alleged as the story may seem…. Its quite believable, which is startling in the wake of a devastation such as Haiti’s.
Sadly, it looks like Mr. Jean may be a little too crooked... even for someone who wanted to be a politician.
