Fulton County and DeKalb County commissioners are expected this week and next to vote on approving the transfer of management of Grady Memorial Hospital from the hospital's board to a private, nonprofit governing board. It is a move that diminishes the two counties' control over the massive charity hospital.

Here's how commissioners say they are leaning in their upcoming votes

Fulton County Commissioners

• Emma Darnell
  UNDECIDED
  "If there are no significant changes in the draft I have, I will vote no."
• Lynne Riley
  UNDECIDED
  "I'm not worried about the power. I want to defend the tax dollars of Fulton County."
• Nancy Boxill
  NO RESPONSE
• Bill Edwards
