New Beer Ordinance Has Many Problems Dear Editor,     Water Valley’s new anti-business beer ordinance has many, many problems. Let’s take just one of the 24 sections in the ordinance (the last beer ordinance had 14).     SIGNAGE. The new ordinance forbids any beer sign that is visible from the street. If a storekeeper has…

TVA Fuel Adjustment Cost Questioned By Utility User Dear Sir,    As I was averaging my City of Water Valley Utility bills for the last year I was shocked to see that we paid almost $500 for the “TVA Fuel Cost Adjustment,” this seems to me to be excessive for any utility company.    There…

Late Penalty For Electric Bill Perplexes Local Utility Customer Dear Editor,   Along with my current utility bill came an additional charge for last month’s services. I will admit that I never missed receiving the bill, but considered that is is the responsibility of the company hired by the City to do the billing, and…

Shaw Files Complaint Over Disallowed Exemption Dear Editor,   As you all know, all public officials swear an oath to office to enforce the laws according to the Mississippi Code, and the Mississippi Constitution.   Enclosed is a Registered Legal Complaint filed with the Chancery Clerk of the Board of Supervisors of Yalobusha County, for…

Three-Way Stop Helps Traffic Flow Editor: I read with interest the cost of replacing the traffic light at the intersection at the First Baptist Church.  Since the three-way stop has been initiated I have observed the traffic moving more efficiently and much faster.  On some of the other intersections, traffic is stopped with four to…

Dear Editor,   PBS is currently running a Public Service Announce-ment about taking our state from Fat to Fit. Obviously we need more exercise, and that is the purpose of this letter.   What our town needs is a centrally located recreation center with, perhaps, a ping pong table, pool table, pin ball machines, card…

City Should Provide Free Wi-Fi Service Dear Editor:   A recent article in this newspaper tells us that the city has received a $9,000 grant, that will be matched locally, for the installation of a Main Street Wi-Fi System.   Anyone who wishes this service can get it now for as little as $9.95 a…
