Will the Philadelphia 76ers hold onto the 28th overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft? Only a few people truly know. While Sixers President of Basketball Operations Daryl Morey is known to wheel and deal on draft night, he surely wouldn t rule out keeping the pick if there is a prospect that will be on the board that could help make the Sixers better.

Amy Henges arrived in Sumter County from New York almost two years ago with a wealth of counseling and educational experience.
In 25 years in the field, Henges has taught young children and been a counselor for K-12.

It’s a dramatic difference in understanding what the students need to do for the college applications process, Henges said of the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic. That’s completely different for colleges now, what they’re requiring, but it’s also been a lot of changes in flexibility and how we present to the students and support them to make sure they have the classes they need.
As new members of the Sumter County commission are pushing for a tax increase that would punish new business, leaders at the state level are igniting their strategy to lure it to the Sunshine State. Ex-Democrats Oren Miller and Gary Search are championing the reversal of the countyâs longstanding pro-business strategy, seeking to dramatically raise road impact fees on new homes and businesses countywide. Search has pressed to nearly double the fees from the current 40% of the maximum allowed by law to 75%; Miller wants a 150% increase to the full maximum. Longtime Republican commissioners Doug Gilpin, Gary Breeden and Craig Estep tabled the matter until July after a standing-room only crowd pleaded with them earlier this month to reconsider the severity of the economic fallout.
