The Mayor and Board of Aldermen’s vote to end payments to interlocal agreements with the county could affect a lot more than E-911 services and the rubbish pit.
Last week, with Mayor McArthur Straughter and Ward 4 Alderman Aubry Brent Jr. strongly opposing, the board voted 3-2 to end payments on interlocal agreements with the county until county officials come to the table to discuss the city’s request that the county pay a $9,500 monthly fee for the rubbish pit, among other matters.

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.
