Nov 6, 2015Interim DeKalb CEO Lee May has completed his eight countywide meetings with residents to answer their concerns about government corruption and inefficiency.
At the end of his tour Thursday, May said he plans to continue his job as the county's leader and focus on improving government services.
Some residents told May that he should resign, but others said they believe in his ability to pull the county through.
Some of the questions at the meetings focused on the $885,000 corruption investigation that criticized May's leadership. May said the investigation didn't live up to his expectations.
