Christine Beatty

By:  Lynn Green If you PRESS HERE, you will see the article that Deputy Diva wrote which shares the sad ending regarding Christine Betty. Hicktown has followed the Kilpatrick - Beatty case for the past year and with sarcasm, referred to Kwame as Hicktown’s “favorite” mayor.

Why watch Soaps when you can watch POLITICS?
