Twenty-five years after the attacks that reshaped the country, San Diego's East County communities are managing a cluster of urgent local stories: a homicide investigation near a popular Santee park, a heat wave that knocked out power to thousands, a consequential November ballot measure, and civic votes in La Mesa and Lemon Grove that will shape those cities for years.
The week's events range from the grave — a still-unexplained death on Carlton Hills Boulevard — to the consequential, including a proposed one-cent sales tax that Santee's city government says is essential to closing a $327 million infrastructure gap. Residents heading into the weekend will also find the brutal heat finally breaking, with temperatures expected to fall well below the triple-digit readings that defined the week.
