It’s that time of year again!

Last week, we took a look at raises being considered by Oconee County Council for the upcoming fiscal year.

On Tuesday evening, Oconee County Council voted in favor of amending the current budget by more than $2.4 million. That didn’t surprise us too much.

Budget woes have for years plagued the police department in Walhalla.

Well, we’re one week into the school year and so far it hasn’t been a disaster — at least not as far we can tell. 

If you saw that headline and thought we were talking about the schools and their first couple days with the COVID-19 fiasco … that’s tomorrow.

So, who’s on first again in Westminster?

For weeks now, we’ve known that the School District of Oconee County intended to begin classes both face-to-face and online on Aug. 24 — next Monday.
