Blaine's Impending Bankruptcy

5/15/25 letter to city and county:

The City of Blaine's impending bankruptcy due to malfeasance by Blaine Mayor Mary Lou Steward is not a surprise. Steward's main focus downtown in the tourist-commercial area of the Central Business District has been to develop condominiums for which the city council voted on June 10, 2024 to privatize all on-street parking, leaving no parking for tourists and commerce. Steward's sole focus in the Urban Growth Area misplaced over the city aquifer was to fraudulently approve residential development there that would pollute the city's drinking water aquifer, and to eliminate public opposition by threatening citizens and banning FREE SPEECH at city council meetings. 

By their unlawful actions involved in destroying Blaine's environment 2022-2025, Mayor Mary Lou Steward and City Manager Mike Harmon are running the City of Blaine into bankruptcy. The illegal developments approved citywide by Community Development Services director Alex Wenger are now falling apart due to this official corruption.

When the city is unable to fulfill its promises to developers after the courts shut down the municipal criminal enterprise choreographed by Steward, Harmon, Wenger, and Blaine city attorney Peter Ruffato, the developers will file lawsuits against the city, which has no capacity to pay judgments in the hundreds of millions of dollars. Due to the fact that the lawbreaking by the city was intentional, rather than accidental, the city's insurer will not have to pay off the plaintiffs, and since the city's only assets are city hall and the community center, bankruptcy will be the only option left.

Letter to County Prosecutor

To Mr. Eric J. Richey, Whatcom Prosecuting Attorney, 311 Grand, Ste. 201, Bellingham WA 98225 I write to you as Whatcom County Prosecuting Attorney in hope you will protect the rights of the people of Blaine from a city government that--due to embedded corruption--is unable to effectively govern and is putting our health and prosperity at risk by their unlawful acts. Your reply requested.  I am told you have the authority to empanel a grand jury to investigate official misconduct and encourage you to do so.

Mike Hill on CCTV

1/30/25 letter to City of Blaine : BLAINE'S SHAME CCTV of Blaine City Council member Mike Hill accosting community activist Otto Pointer at the November 13, 2024, council meeting. Mike Hill, owner of Starbuck's and Chevron, as well as a downtown and CARA developer, has not recused himself when voting on zoning amendments to the Blaine Municipal Code that financially benefit him. This self-dealing is against the law. In late 2023, when Blaine community activists handed over their extensive evidence of alleged official corruption by the City of Blaine to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) criminal division and the FBI, they had reason to believe that the rule of law would be restored in their town. The City of Blaine--which had illegally up-zoned the city's Critical Aquifer Recharge Area (CARA) into a Planned Unit Development (PUD) over the city's drinking water aquifer without preparing a legally required Environmental Impact Statement--was clearly in the wr...
