Houston's City Attorney David Feldman may be in hot water. Insiders allege at a meeting at the City Hall last week Feldman showed up wearing big feather like earrings. Why? Sources say Feldman was mocking City Council Member Jolanda Jones. Those sources say African American employees in Feldman's office were offended. In fact, some of those employees thought the mocking was racist. Our call to Feldman's office has not been returned. We will keep digging and bring you the details as soon as we get them. By the way, we're told there may be a picture and video of the city attorney in the earrings.  The allegations have lead to New Black Panther Party leader Quanell X to ask Mayor Annise Parker to investigate and fire Feldman.  X says he will attend the City Council meeting Tuesday and address the issue.  He says he will put in a formal request for an independent investigation Monday.

 
Statement from the City of Houston: There was a quarterly meeting of the legal department this week. Last week for his birthday, the city attorney was given a gag gift (a pair of feathered earrings). Prior to heading into this week's meeting he was dared to put the gag gift on. He did , walked into meeting and took the gag gift off. The meeting proceeded and there was cake at the end of the meeting. The incident lasted 10-20 seconds. This was meant to inject some levity. no harm was intended.
