SHEWMAKE'S REVENGE

I am struggling to comprehend what motivated a state senator to risk her reputation and job as a professor at WWU by committing one of the most unethical acts I've observed in the state legislature in my lifetime. The only thing I can recall is when I rebuked Senator Shewmake for interfering in the 2025 Blaine City Council election by endorsing Jiggy Sorrell--a Trump supporter--over Eric Lewis, a Whatcom Democrat. Lewis proposed adoption of a Blaine code of ethics in the aftermath of self-dealing by Blaine Councilman Mike Hill. Evidently in Shewmake's mind, it is of utmost importance to protect crooked Republicans rather than allow open government activists to hold Shewmake's friend Blaine Mayor Mary Lou Steward accountable for running a criminal enterprise at city hall. Steward attacked Councilman Lewis and supported the death threats against open government activists by convicted felon, David Brudvik. Shewmake is known by the company she keeps.

NEW CITY SLOGAN

[email to city council] Instead of Blaine-by-the-Sea as our city's slogan, why not Conflicts-of-Interest Capitol of the PNW? Drayton Harbor is a cesspool and wading is unsafe, so go with your strength--corruption. Tourists can purchase SARBJIT RESIGN t-shirts, and JAIL HARMON ball caps.

BLAINE INVESTORS BEWARE

[email to city council] Does the Canadian developer you gave downtown on-street parking to for free know that Ordinance 26-3043 that allows him to build skyscrapers without any parking is illegal? State law says that when an ordinance is voted on by a council member with a conflict of interest as Sarbjit Bains has in spades, the ordinance is invalid, and the culprit--in this case Councilwoman Bains--must forfeit the public office. In plain language, Sarbjit must resign, or be prosecuted, and any permits issued to the developer can be challenged in court for extending special privileges.

FOUR SELF-DEALING BLAINE OFFICIALS IN FOUR YEARS

[email to Blaine City Council] In 2026, Blaine City Councilwoman Sarbjit Bains became the fourth Blaine official to be caught self-dealing, which violates the WA Ethics in Public Service Act. Sarbjit's husband Gurdeep "Zeal" Bains was first to commit self-dealing as a member of the Downtown Advisory Committee in 2023, followed by Councilman Mike Hill in 2024, and Planning Commissioner Sam Randhawa in 2025. Hill and Randhawa resigned in disgrace. When will Sarbjit?

BAINS RESIGNATION MOMENTUM

[email to state legislators Rule, Timmons, Ramel, and Shewmake] Read the attached April 26, 2026 deranged email from Blaine City Councilwoman Sarbjit Bains to State Senator Sharon Shewmake, and the May 18, 2026 defamatory email from Shewmake, interfering with the WA Criminal Justice Training Commission investigation of Blaine PD for retaliatory policing against critics of the mayor.  These two crooks are going down for violating my civil rights. Bains and Shewmake will be synonymous with dishonesty and thuggery, and serve as examples of politicians gone bad. I can't imagine Shewmake keeping her WWU tenure after the WA State Legislative Ethics Board charges and fines her for unethical conduct.
