OCONEE COUNTY CLEMSON County eyes conservative ‘Now more than ever’ approach to investments

BY RILEY MORNINGSTAR THE JOURNAL

WALHALLA — Oconee County administrator Amanda Brock said the “largest and most significant change” in projected revenue for the county’s first proposed budget is one largely out of its control. On Tuesday night, Brock pointed out to county council’s Budget, Finance and Administra- tion Committee the change falls under the “interest and investment income” line item. Brock recommended the county plan for $475,000 in Brock revenue to come in for fis- cal year 2021-22, the same figure that was approved last Septem- ber for the current fiscal year.

BY ANDREW DALTON ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES — Right down to its production design, the Oscars have not always felt like the most welcoming place for the disabled. “I’ve always seen that stage with its stairs as a symbol that they don’t expect people who had mobility issues to be nomi- nated or to win an award,” said Jim LeBrecht, the co-director and co-star of the Oscar-nom- inated documentary “ Crip Camp.” “It’s always been this kind of negative tacit state- ment.” This year shows signs of change. LeBrecht, who has spi- na bifida and uses a wheelchair, will attend the April 25 ceremo- ny. So will Robert Tarango, the deaf-blind star of the nominated short, “Feeling Through.” The victors’ podium will be accessible for both.
