This week, Del Walters, a veteran local Washington, DC and Baltimore television reporter and anchor, who in January of 2009 served as executive producer of “Virginia's Inaugural Black Tie and Blue Dominion Ball” starring actress Jenna Elfman and the Commodores (NB item), joined the on-air anchor team for Washington, DC’s Bonneville International-owned all-news radio station affiliated with CBS News.

The group has one point four trillion reasons to want James dead. That's the price tag attached to a slavery reparations lawsuit creeping through the courts. 'The Consortium' fears because Baron James is black he would shepherd the lawsuit through the judicial system and ruin their centuries old hold on power. Power that can directly be traced to the trafficking of human beings we know as slavery....
