Former Chancery Clerk Noreene Girard has repaid money owed to the taxpayers of Yazoo County since 2007 plus interest and investigation fees.
State Auditor Stacey Pickering has recovered $71,115.41 following a thorough investigation into a fee cap violation. Auditors in the State Auditor’s County Audit Division discovered the exception during the Fiscal Year ending Sept. 30, 2007 audit and referred the case to the Investigations Division. -------for the rest of the story see The Yazoo Herald printed edition or subscribe to the Digital Edition.----------
Dear Editor:
In the 6 April 2013 edition of The Yazoo Herald you published a letter from Cynthia Fuller, "Thanks to (Van) Foster for helping get bridge replaced."
After reading this lettter, I had the impression that the bridge was completed and traffic was moving along normally.
Wrong! Last Sunday I was on my way to homecoming at Providence Baptist Church. I turned north onto old 49 and saw the signs that the bridge was out. I assumed that they hadn't gotten around to removing the signs. I expected to cross Thompson Creek on the new bridge. When I approached the creek the road was barricaded and construction equipment was down in the creek.
Perhaps The Herald can keep us updated as to the progress being made on the new bridge.
