Good morning, Beaumont.

United Way of Mid & South Jefferson County is marking 100 years of service today with a $100K pledge from Golden Pass LNG that will support student enrichment and workforce development while inspiring centennial events (such as the 100 Years, 100 Volunteers initiative) to honor community volunteerism.

Police (from LCM-CISD, Orange Police Department, and the Orange County Sheriff’s Office) are investigating an online threat that may target community members and are gathering evidence to secure public safety.

Beaumont Public Health inspected local restaurants from Jan.

12 to Jan. 24 and found that scores ranged from perfect marks to lower grades for issues like buildup in ice machines and temperature control. Some facilities corrected violations during inspections + officials stress the need for ongoing food safety compliance.
