City leaders are researching an ordinance that could eliminate personal cell phone usage among city workers and employees while at work.
City employees using their personal cell phones while on the clock has become an issue in Yazoo City. After complaints and open violations, the Board of Alderman brought the matter to the table during its open meeting Monday afternoon.
Ward 2 Alderman Dr. Jack Varner sparked the discussion by asking that the board to first warn then terminate those who continue to use their cell phones while at work.
“Employees should not be using them on the job,” Ward 3 Alderman Clifton Jones agreed.

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.
