CREEKSIDE CORRUPTION PART OF PATTERN

6/20/25 letter to city and county:

As you are aware, Blaine Water Coalition filed a Formal Complaint on June 14, 2025, to the U.S. Department of Justice against the City of Blaine for Unlawful Conduct, Altering of Public Records and Legal Violations by City of Blaine officials, requesting state and federal investigation and invalidation of Blaine Ordinance 25-3028. This unlawful ordinance was the result of misleading statements by Blaine Community Development Services director Alex Wenger, as well as concealment of direct financial conflicts of interest by Wenger, Blaine Planning Commissioner Sam Randhawa, and Blaine rezone consultant Ali Taysi--all working under the direction of Wenger.

The Formal Complaint alleges criminal conduct, including a documented pattern of regulatory non-compliance and enforcement failures, repeating the method of omitting information from the public record designed to mislead the commission and council in order to induce legislative acts without key information. This method was used by Wenger in other unlawful schemes by CDS, such as transpired with the Semiahmoo Spit PUD and the Central Business District rezoning where developer Gurdeep Bains was involved in documented self-dealing orchestrated by Wenger. Now, Mr. Wenger is spoon-feeding you selected information that is again misleading for the Creekside PUD extension, without a completed SEPA checklist, in violation of state and federal laws.

As noted in the Formal Complaint regarding the Freeman Real Estate scandal, aka The Randhawa Affair, Alex Wenger omitted key public comments and was the "primary architect of the flawed and biased outcome." By using his dual authority as the CDS Director and SEPA Official without separation of duties, he controls the public record. Leveraging this authority to create 'sanitized' recommendations for city council to benefit favored parties, Wenger ensures that "no dissenting information would interfere with the predetermined outcome he and the conflicted parties sought," which constitutes a "deprivation of the public's right to his honest services under 18 U.S.C. 1346."

Now, with the Creekside shell game in play, Wenger is once again misleading and misinforming the city council to benefit a favored party without completing a SEPA review using current best practices and science. In other words, an Environmental Impact Statement is required, despite the falsified SEPA determination by Wenger used to bypass an EIS in violation of the Clean Water Act. 

Alex the Great cannot simply proclaim complete reviews without any evidence, nor should you allow him to.

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...
