The battle for CEO
There's a lot at stake for the five candidates seeking to replace DeKalb CEO Vernon Jones. The office exerts more control over the day-to-day operations of county government than a standard-issue commission chairman elsewhere. And unlike the mayor of Atlanta, the CEO has a direct role in the passage of local ordinances and policies. Pictured are candidates (from left) Burrell Ellis, Ann Kimbrough, Joe Bembry, Steen Miles and Stan Watson. • Story | Early voting under way
