Last week on “A Closer Look,” interim DeKalb County CEO Lee May talked about the ongoing corruption investigation and the vote to approve county money for a new pro soccer complex. During the interview May criticized DeKalb Commissioner Nancy Jester over her handling of those issues and her communications with him.

Now Jester has responded to the criticisms in an interview with “A Closer Look” hosts Rose Scott and Denis O’Hayer.

Jester said she looks forward to seeing the results of the corruption investigation when it’s completed. She also discussed issues around the commission vote to build a new multimillion-dollar soccer complex, her communications with May and more.
