Vicksburg Mayor's race is on. First out of the block is Linda Fondren and Gertrude Young.....very interesting.
The supervisors aren’t bad guys. They just aren’t effective.

Annexing the county would be a great way to decrease our tax burden and improve services. With the effectiveness of this administration we could also fill up those factories again, get decent fire protection and have all of Warren County on the same path. Currently we have two paths, one going up and beyond, the other stuck in the muck.

There is a legal issue that would have to be clarified. If we go with one government in Warren County it is my understanding that the County Board would be the governing body. That needs to change. Seems like I have seen somewhere on this board an idea about having four supervisors and a mayor. Each supervisor would have part of the city and part of the county in their area. Makes sense to me.
Vicksburg is ready for new leadership. Question is who will step up to the plate.
