KARI MAR'S COMEUPPANCE

In January, Kari Mar, publisher of The Northern Light, waltzed into town from La Conner--where she publishes the worst excuse for a newspaper I've ever seen--thinking she would be princess of our town. After six months of her pathetic and vindictive journalism, it's time to hold her accountable for protecting crooks and demonizing upstanding citizens. Mar should return to her fantasy journalism world and her toy publishing empire, and leave Blaine alone. We don't need or want her obstructing justice here.

TOADIES UNDER SCRUTINY

June 14 letter to Blaine City Council: For those of you who are new to public office, and might not have attended an Association of Washington Cities orientation for new public officials, there is one takeaway that stands above all others. That takeaway is that you never vote to line your own pockets, as former Councilman Mike Hill, former Planning Commissioner Sam Randhawa, and current Councilwoman Sarbjit Bains have done.

BLAINE MAYOR INCITING VIGILANTISM

June 12 letter to EPA External Civil Rights Division: The Washington Criminal Justice Training Commission is presently investigating Blaine Police Department for retaliatory policing against me and two others, who are since November 4, 2025 under civil protection orders from Whatcom District Court, after we received a death threat on October 13, 2025 from David Brudvik, a supporter of Blaine Mayor Mary Lou Steward, whom we criticized for allowing self-dealing by Blaine public officials. Blaine Chief of Police Rodger Funk testified in court on behalf of Brudvik, and Mayor Steward cheered Brudvik's Facebook video of the threat Judge Angela Anderson ruled a true threat to murder us, and attended court to show support for him. At the June 8, 2026 Blaine City Council meeting, Mayor Steward demonized us for our open government activism against self-inurement by three Blaine officials, and Blaine Chief of Police Rodger Funk accused us of being "vexatious." Then, Mayor Steward...
