DeKalb County commissioners are considering a measure to fight foreclosure in the area, home to one of the state’s highest foreclosure rates. One idea is to create an Office of Consumer Affairs to aid families facing foreclosure. Another is to urge the state lawmakers to increase the length of time between when a homeowner learns of a pending foreclosure and the actual foreclosure sale. DeKalb County has a 6.4 percent foreclosure rate. (Associated Press)
