An alderman said he felt left out of city business when a letter was sent to the Public Service Commission without his knowledge.
Ward 3 Alderman Clifton Jones said a revised letter to the PSC in reference to the school district’s utilities was sent without the board’s approval.
“Where did this letter come from,” Jones asked, during a special called meeting this week. “How was it created? I was not aware of this.”
Mayor McArthur Straughter said a revised letter based on the board’s previous request was sent to the PSC.

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.
