Things took a dramatic turn amongst county and city leaders when the negotiation of financial obligations to a newly opened rubbish pit came to the table this week.
The Board of Mayor and Aldermen arrived at the Yazoo County Board of Supervisors open meeting Monday morning to discuss the county’s contribution to the city’s new rubbish pit.
Ward 4 Alderman Aubry Brent Jr. was already at the meeting when Mayor McArthur Straughter and aldermen Dr. Jack Varner and Clifton Jones arrived after their own work session. -------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.
