The Sun Herald | 10/17/2006 | City seeks control of money: "PASCAGOULA - City officials told Jackson County supervisors Monday they want more control of how county money is spent in Pascagoula.
They want the road taxes paid in Pascagoula to fund only city projects and a portion of seawall funds collected in Pascagoula to stay there. They also want to form a city/county partnership to maintain Old Spanish Fort and they asked to use city land adjacent to Operation TLC Volunteer Center for parking.
'Just about every street in the city of Pascagoula's been damaged since Aug. 29, either as a direct result of the storm or of the heavy equipment,' Pascagoula Mayor Matthew Avara told supervisors.
He proposed that the county release paving funds to the city in an effort to expedite some of the work."

Amen. The streets are absolutely terrible... and getting worse every day.
I will vouch for that!!!! My car has made contact with ALL of them. It's kinda unnerving to think that since water washed the underside of the streets support away that I will actually encounter an enormous sinkhole. Given my track record, I will drive right into it! LOL
