A resolution urging state lawmakers to oppose the elimination of the state’s inventory tax was submitted by city leaders last week.
The Board of Mayor and Aldermen submitted the resolution in the hopes that state lawmakers will continue support of inventory taxes.
The elimination or reduction of the state inventory tax was recently introduced to legislation. The city’s resolution defines inventory tax as a property tax levied against the value of a company’s inventory that is essential to the tax base and the continuation of vital services.

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.
