The county is proposing to provide on-site homeless resources including behavioral health services and public benefits assistance to any city in the region that builds new shelters. Then, despite upgrades to the state’s power grid, California energy officials say there’s a potential for energy shortfalls that could lead to power outages this summer. Next, Assembly District 80 is up for grabs on June 7, not just once, but twice. The two-for-one special election runoff and standard primary election features redrawn district lines and four candidates looking to represent San Diego’s South Bay. And, of all the candidates running for office during primaries and general elections, voters often know the least about the judicial candidates. The San Diego County Bar Association offers a bit more solid information on the judicial candidates. Then, San Diego County is now seeking to overturn a verdict or get a new trial after the family of a man who died after a 2015 arrest in Santee was awarded $85 million by a jury. Finally, a new Comic-Con Museum exhibit celebrates the late artist and former San Diego resident Dave Stevens who is best known for creating “The Rocketeer,” a comic book that became a movie in 1991.
