Illegal dumping and theft of road signs is costing county taxpayers money, and Sheriff Jake Sheriff says it’s time to make an example out of someone.
Sheriff said his officers will be paying extra close attention to these two issues on their patrols.
District 2 Supervisor David Berry said he is plagued with problems in his district.
“I had 39 signs down at one time,” Berry said.
Berry said he fears an emergency responder could be delayed when trying to find a residence on a county road. In medical cases like heart attacks, minutes can be the difference between life and death.

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.
