In an effort to curtail open violations and increase revenue, the ordinance involving transient vendors within Yazoo City will be updated.
The Board of Mayor and Aldermen voted Monday to amend the city’s ordinance to follow the state’s regulation of such vendors.
Ward 3 Alderman Clifton Jones said the city is losing money by not enforcing the rules regarding transient vendors.
“Our ordinances are weak and outdated,” Jones said. “The ones we have are not being enforced. We need to upgrade to comply with the state’s requirement.”
Jones said there has been an increased number of transient vendors within Yazoo City.

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.
