Granting special exceptions and variances sparked a heated debate among city leaders for the second board meeting in a row.
During the last open meeting of the Board and Mayor of Aldermen, there were disagreements among board members about special exceptions and variances. But three exceptions were granted.
It was the same argument at the latest board meeting Monday afternoon. But of three special exception requests, only one was approved this week.

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.
