City and county officials held their first meeting together since the city suspended its payments to the county with any interlocal agreements.
Detailed discussions were held, but many agreements required more consideration for a later meeting.
“We have discussed concerns about some agreements we had with the county,” said Mayor McArthur Straughter, during the joint meeting Friday morning. “It was suggested that we get back with a full board today.”

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.
