1. Ramona egg rancher disputes County findings in Salmonella outbreak (nbcsandiego.com) — A Ramona-based egg ranch is disputing San Diego County's conclusion that its unpasteurized Happy Hens eggs were linked to a Salmonella outbreak that sickened 22 people, some after eating mayonnaise at Ramona Family Naturals Market. County officials say cases are tied to both the market and the farm, while the owner insists there's no direct test evidence connecting her eggs and says the business is already taking a major financial hit.
2. San Diego County Officials Detail Wildfire Readiness as Fuel Conditions Deteriorate (countynewscenter.com) — Ramona's airfield is now home to a CAL FIRE C‑130 and key helicopter resources, reinforcing the town's role in San Diego County's wildfire defense. County fire, emergency, and law‑enforcement leaders detail major investments in aircraft, staffing, technology, and evacuation planning to protect Ramona and other communities as another dangerous fire season approaches.
3. California nonprofit challenges utility's 8.6% rate hike over wildfire spending (thecooldown.com) — Two Ramona residents leading the Mussey Grade Road Alliance are helping challenge SDG&E's proposed 8.6% rate hike, arguing wildfire spending shouldn't mean unlimited costs for customers. Their work as intervenors could influence how much local households pay for electricity and gas starting in 2028, especially as many San Diego County customers already struggle with rising bills.
4. California Eliminates Sunsets for $1 Million Design-Build Projects for Local Agencies (dbia.org) — A recent state law permanently allows California cities and counties to use design‑build contracts for public works over $1 million, affecting how future projects in places like Ramona are delivered. The Ramona Community Resource Center is highlighted as an award‑winning example of this approach, showing how local facilities can benefit from streamlined construction and long‑term planning certainty.
