DREAM FULFILLED Under the capitol dome Analysis: Angry officials squabble over troubled bridges Smith and Jasper counties file lawsuit against Gov. Phil Bryant over bridge closures

By JEFF AMY The Associated Press

JACKSON — Mississippi has a problem: deteriorating local bridges. People could work together to seek a solution. All too often, though, it seems they’d rather fight. The anger boiling among some county supervisors has now produced a lawsuit by Smith and Jas- per counties against Republican Gov. Phil Bryant, claiming he over- stepped his legal power when he declared a state of emergency and ordered counties to close bridges that federally backed inspectors judged unsafe. Bryant’s action in April followed a year and a half of escalating Luisa Porter/Dispatch Staff Mississippi University for Women softball player Katlyn Duke, left, runs next to Ethan Weeks, 7, and David Phillips as they pressure from federal officials and make their way around the bases at the new handicap-accessible Field of Dreams at Propst Park. Ethan and David are both mounting resentment from county players for the Challenger League and the team played their first game at the new field Saturday. Ethan is the son of Matt and supervisors and engineers. Meredith Weeks. David is the son of Martha Phillips of Columbus. See more photos on page 2A. See Analysis, 6A

The birds we love empty the feeders about every half hour, with a little help from the squirrels. Once we had no squirrels, but lately there’s Shannon Bardwell been a buildup. They’re cute little things, swishing their tails, barking and standing on their hind legs, showing off their pristine white bellies. There’s two squirrel-proof feeders, but the birds don’t like those as well as the blue plastic and the gunmetal gray. The squirrels shimmy straight up the shepherd’s hook and latch onto the feeders, sometimes with two feet on the hook and two swinging on the feeder. It was a Sunday afternoon. I was sitting on the porch watching the birds and naming off the crew — an Indigo bunting, a prothonotary warbler, a bluebird, a rose-breasted grosbeak, a small woodpecker, a male and female cardinal. A jay bird sat on a tree limb and a few doves waddled over. A gang of cowbirds descended, which I hate to even mention because the one time I said something semi-favorable toward the iridescent coloring of the cowbird I received some ever-so-slight hate mail. No one likes the cowbird and, bowing a bit to peer pressure, I am getting a little tired of the way the cowbird hogs the feeder and scares off the other birds. The mighty cardinal will flit away and let the cowbird have his place. Sometimes the female cardinal is not so generous. Cardinals are a pleasure to watch when it’s just the two of them. The birds feed each other seed. I think I can safely say cardinals are sweet birds. An emerald green hummingbird darted back and forth between the wild cherry tree and the hummingbird feeders. The hummers don’t seem to mind if we sit on the porch while they feed. First one squirrel and then another arrived, helping themselves to the fallen seed from the feeders. One squirrel sat back on his haunches, looked at us, then while holding the seed with both “hands” stuffed it in his mouth. Sam asked, “What are we going to do about these squirrels?” This is not an easy question, and it’s one that’s been asked often. I said what I usually say, “I’ll put a trap out and catch them.” I say this, even though I have never caught a squirrel — a hundred or so other Mississippi voices critters, but never a squirrel. Considering squirrels feed in the daytime, I put the traps out the next morning. I baited with pecans. Soon I had a squirrel eating pecans like it was pop- Picture improving for state’s corn.

By JOE McDONALD AP Business Writer

BEIJING — In a looming trade war between the world’s two largest economies, American companies in China may have a bull’s-eye on their backs. The Trump administration is pushing China to cut its trade surplus with the United States by $200 billion by the end of 2020 and give up poli- cies that favor domestic companies — the core of Beijing’s state-led economic model. As the two sides exchange threats of tariff hikes, their lopsided trade balance means China will run out of imports for retaliation before Pres- ident Donald Trump does. But Beijing has other ways to inflict pain. Chief among those is harassing American companies
