The lowdown on a new piece where the Mayor takes your questions, Facebook reminder, the day's events and local need to know.

Dear Randy

We already offer "," a piece where we dig into an issue and get you the best answer possible. But, now I introduce "," where you can ask the Mayor of Santee a question that he may answer on Santee Patch.

The . Randy lays down what the laws are, why he thinks they're that way, and his take on it- all of course with his !

Send us your questions (steven.bartholow@patch.com), and we'll try to get one answer up a week.

Santee Patch user guessed the correct answer to last week's soupy puzzle, the relatively new

Santee Patch Facebook

In case you're not aware, Santee Patch has a facebook page! It's an extension of what we do on the site, and mostly just another way to get an idea of what's happening in Santee.

So, if you use Facebook, give our page a like and you'll have another way to follow what's up in Santee. And, if you're already linked with us on FB, spread the word to your local friends!

I think the communities, Santee here, should band together and raise that money for schoolRead More supplies,instead of the teachers. I for one would throw in the first $100. I think between the residents and the local businesses we could raise the $10,000 to $15,000 that I am guessing would be needed. In Scripps Ranch, where both my kids attended school, the parents banded together and covered a HALF A MILLION shortfall in no time about 9 years ago during the cuts. And you don't have to have kids in school now to contribute. I don't anymore,BUT GOOD PUBLIC education with the right tools BENEFITS ALL AND THE FUTURE OF AMERICA MOST OF ALL. So I am first.

No drop down menus, just click the header links for more options. For story categories click newsRead More and look on the left hand column. I know the redesign will take a bit to get used to, but I really think it will be a better site for community engagement, and easier to use. Feel free to post your feedback to the redesign on the boards, I'll check it out and respond, but you might also send your feedback straight to Patch headquarters with this form- http://feedback.aol.com/rs/rs.php?sid=patch Engineers will be furiously tweeking the new site based on your suggestions.

this is why the battlefield has changed temporarily from the political arena to the Energy Arena.Read More Co Gen Tricks and the usual suspects are making their big money bet on two inevitable facts that will force the hand of the CPUC and CEC to place a new gas power plant somewhere in the area. 1) the Electric Vehicle Mandate. 2) voltage support (power factor) needed by the industrial wind and solar farms in the desert. There is more to what meets the eye with the aggressive push by the usual suspects to cover our open spaces in the East County with these poorly sited RE projects. More wind and solar farms means more gas power plants. There is only one way to fight the destruction of our open spaces, and that is with roof top solar, conservation, energy efficiency and community owned energy districts. The fisrt thing that needs to be done is the City of Santee exempt residential scale PV installs from needing a building permit. Australia, Germany and the State of Vermont do not require a Building Permit to install PV.

Well said Stephen! Knowledge is TRULY power! The fight is not over! Cogentrix is just onceRead More again playing their wait, wait, wait game in the public eye and playing their lobbying game behind closed doors.
