Thank you for more choices.

And I answered "maybe", but will add that I expect them to make things better. That is their job and its the job they asked for.

This is hopefully a brighter day for Natchez and not because of the candidates individually as it will take ALL of them to do the job. Many were dissatisfied with the way Natchez has been let to run down and I think that dissatisfaction and the publics help, a better job will be done with greater participation by all. City and County need to work together for what is best for ALL citizens and not just a few. I know people in the County do not want to be part of the city and I understand that, but there needs to be better fairness among departments that do not favor one set of citizens over another, but that benefits Natchez best. After all, everyone comes into Natchez for something and you must exit (except to travel to Vidalia) using county roads. I love my city and my county and want the best for us as one unit of government rather than two separate factions. Good luck officials of both city and county and march forward with banner in hand and let us reap the grandest of awards -- growth!

It would be nice if things got better, but I doubt they will. It use to be nice to walk my dogs at night in Vidalia when it had cooled down, but that's impossible anymore.

With Gray, Mathis and Pollard still on the Board of Alderman it will remain a long-running horror show. Three complete imbeciles making decisions that effect us all.

They will make a difference. Imbeciles?
