From a troubling police restraint death in Elk Grove to a new food literacy TV show, Sacramento made plenty of headlines recently. Here’s a quick guide to the stories local readers should catch up on.
Elk Grove officers did not call the county’s 24/7 HOPE line for mental health responders before placing Scott Saetern, 37, in a WRAP restraint at a gas station in June 2025, and the unarmed man later died — a revelation now fueling calls for Attorney General Rob Bonta to investigate the death and for the department to release disciplinary records.English and math scores across Sacramento’s largest school districts remain below pre-pandemic levels, with fewer than half of students meeting state standards.

The Sacramento Bee spotlights the small, scrappy museums still operating, including a home-based embroidery museum curated by Corinna Fish and the Don & June Salvatori California Pharmacy Museum.
