One alderman knows that banning a specific breed of dog would probably never happen in Yazoo City, but he would like to see some regulations in place.
Ward 4 Alderman Aubry Brent Jr. sparked the discussion of pit bulls again at the open meeting of the Board of Mayor and Alderman Monday afternoon.
Brent began the discussion by referring to a recent accident on Highway 3 and Gordon Avenue that killed a high school student.
“There is a petition going around right now to get a light there after the fact,” Brent said. “My point is we are being reactive rather than being proactive.” -------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.
