A federal grand jury has served DeKalb County with a wide-ranging subpoena for vendor payment records, a clear sign that a corruption investigation won’t end with the guilty plea by disgraced ex-Commissioner Elaine Boyer.

The subpoena names 62 vendors paid by all other sitting commissioners, dating back more than five years. That includes Interim CEO Lee May, who was a commissioner before being named to replace suspended CEO Burrell Ellis.
