Five legislators representing Yazoo County were placed in leadership roles this week.
Rep. Philip Gunn, who also represents Yazoo County, was selected as the new House speaker last week, and other announcements soon followed with a slate of new leaders.
Rep. Bryant Clark will serve as the deputy leader of the 58-person Mississippi House Democratic Caucus.
Among his many duties, Clark will serve as spokesperson for the House Democrats. Working with Caucus Leader Rep. Bobby Moak, he will also devise strategies that advance and promote the Democrat Caucus’ agenda.
“House Democrats are committed to improving education and putting Mississippians to work,” Clark said. “This means not only working to continue to attract world-class employees like Nissan and Toyota, but also working to ensure that our small businesses have the tools they need to be successful.”

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.
