Two people were killed early Sunday when a westbound 2003 Harley-Davidson left East Lakeview Road west of Adlai Road in Lakeside and struck a tree. The driver, identified as a 41-year-old San Diego man, and the passenger, a 33-year-old El Cajon woman, were both ejected from the motorcycle and pronounced dead at the scene. The California Highway Patrol is actively investigating the crash, including whether drugs or alcohol were contributing factors. Victim names had not been released as of Tuesday's reporting.
Santee residents face a midnight deadline tonight for discounted tickets to the city's Brews and Bites Halloween-themed fundraiser. General admission rises from $70.42 to $81.06 on October 1st. The 21-and-over event runs October 17th from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m. at Town Center Community Park East, featuring food and drink tastings, Halloween programming, and a live performance by Jimmy's Buffet. Proceeds support city recreation programming, park improvements, the Teen Center, and recreation scholarships.
Two Santee ballot measures warrant attention before mail ballots arrive next week. Measure BB, a proposed $30 million school-bond measure for repairs and improvements at elementary-school campuses, will be the subject of an informational town hall on October 8th at Cajon Park — a practical opportunity to get questions answered before voting. Measure Y, a proposed 1-cent general sales tax that would raise the citywide rate from 7.75 to 8.75 percent for ten years, is estimated to generate $14 million per year for deferred infrastructure needs across streets, storm drains, fire facilities, bridges, and parks.
