đłď¸Voters have made their voices heard in the 2025 Bond Election. Join us as we sit down with Beaumont City Manager Kenneth Williams and Mayor Roy West for a post-election wrap up! Voters in the City of Beaumont have approved Proposition A of the Cityâs proposed $264.2 million General Obligation (GO) Bond package. The measure will fund critical improvements to infrastructure, drainage, streets, and sidewalks across the city, addressing long-term community needs and enhancing overall quality of life.
While other propositions and the proposed venue tax did not receive voter approval, the passage of Proposition A reflects the communityâs shared commitment to investing in Beaumontâs core infrastructure and future growth.
Following certification of election results, the City will begin the process of issuing bonds related to Proposition A. Financial advisors and bond counsel will assist with structuring the bond sales, which may occur in phases based on project timelines and market conditions. All contracts for design, construction, and project delivery will be reviewed by the Beaumont City Council in a public setting to ensure transparency and accountability.For more information about Proposition A, visit beaumonttexas.gov/bond

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davisâ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
