Beans 'n cornbread luncheon -- Update

Texarkana, Texas Mayor James Bramlett welcomes visitors to the Southwest Center earlier today as he prepares to serve lunch for his annual Beans 'n cornbread fundraiser. The $4 donation for lunch goes to gift baskets for underprivileged families in Texarkana.

Update (Saturday): It's being reported in this morning's Texarkana Gazette that Mayor Bramlett will not seek re-election next year. He's been at it for a decade and has accomplished lots for the Texas-side. HE thinks now is a good time to step aside and pass the reins.
