Vernon Jones: Frequent critic Dick Williams: "He's the most fascinating politician around." - "There's something to being a little controversial."

Last summer I often ran into DeKalb CEO Vernon Jones. If you didn't instantly take a liking to the guy, it was something wrong with your personality rather than his outgoing and vibrant one.

Scott Henry has an excellent, balanced cover story on CEO Jones entitled "Tyrannosaurus Jones, Magnetic leader or monster: Will the real Vernon please stand up?" in Creative Loafing.

I remain a Jones' fan.
