Sound Off for April 17

Confederate Heritage Month

Germany doesn’t have a Nazi heritage month for good reason. Mississippi shouldn’t have a Confederate Heritage Month. It looks really bad. How about a Deep South Month instead?

Leash laws

There is a man who walks his dog without a leash on my street. The dog wanders into our yards and he does not stop him. What is the ordinance for this and how do I report this?

The blame game

I do agree the next administration does inherit what the prior did. Of course, not everything Donald Trump did was good and would leave a problem for President Joe Biden. However, Biden and his agenda is the cause of so much of our current problems

Separation of church and state

So a Coast pastor posted pro-Trump info in his church website? He needs to read the piece entitled “False Idol” that appeared in The Rolling Stone a couple of years ago.

The buck stops ... here?

It seems that the buck no longer has anywhere to stop!

East Biloxi construction

The problem with insurance and liability claims for the infrastructure upgrade in East Biloxi sounds a whole lot like the responsibility avoidance that happened after Hurricane Katrina. The city of Biloxi is built on a long sand spit that extends from the west to Point Cadet. Engineering input should have anticipated problems such as occurred with wet sands and crumbling sand walls of the trenches and mitigation built into the contract. Since Biloxi saved a big bunch of money by taking a very low lowest bid, they need to spend some of those savings in fixing the problems. At least those not caused by direct negligence on the contractor’s part.
