Ward 4 Alderman Aubry Brent Jr. said he was going to continue to address the issue of pit bulls in Yazoo City, and the Monday’s board meeting was no exception.
For the third Board of Mayor and Aldermen open meeting, Brent sparked discussion of a breed specific ban on pit bulls within the city.
The topic was debated among Brent and Ward 2 Alderman Dr. Jack Varner during the last board meeting. Varner stressed a breed specific ban shouldn’t be implemented because there are several other breeds of dogs just as dangerous as pit bulls. -------for the rest of the story see The Yazoo Herald printed edition or subscribe to the Digital Edition.----------
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.
