One alderman told city leaders it is time to do something about the local school district before the state takes it over.
Ward 4 Alderman Aubry Brent Jr. said there should be a meeting between the Board of Mayor and Aldermen and the Yazoo City Municipal School Board.
“This board needs to get involved from where we stand as the city fathers with our school district,” Brent said. “Is there anything we can do with the problems we are having?” -------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.
