STEWARD'S BIG BEAUTIFUL PLAN

Looking back over the three-year conflict between Mayor Steward and Blaine citizens holding her accountable to state and federal laws, it is clear that the mayor was relying on The Northern Light to cover up crimes by Blaine officials. Those crimes violated the Clean Water Act, Ethics in Public Service Act, Growth Management Act, Shoreline Management Act, and State Environmental Policy Act.

Looking at the mayor's scorecard 2023-25, the citizens won. Despite her full-on demonizing of the citizens who opposed her and the police misconduct used to intimidate them, Steward has failed to deliver on any of her big beautiful plan to 1) annihilate the East Blaine aquifer that sustains us by siting 1,000 homes over it, 2) trash the Semiahmoo Spit with 211 condos right on the shoreline, and 3) jack our utility bills to subsidize 1,000 gated, luxury homes by annexing Birch Point.

Steward lost big time. Then, she set the police and David Brudvik on the citizens to get even, and landed Brudvik in the news for making death threats. Next up, the Washington Department of Ecology will be reporting to the EPA a Drayton Harbor cleanup plan that is mandatory under the Clean Water Act to make it once again safe for wading and clamming. At present, the harbor is a cesspool of human and canine fecal bacteria that is rated category 5 by the EPA (filthy).

BLAINE TOXIC COVERUP

2/25/25 letter to City of Blaine : BLAINE TOXIC COVERUP A Town that Never Learns By  Jay Taber Blaine Water Coalition Blaine City Council member  Mike Hill --recently under investigation by the Whatcom County Sheriff's Department for accosting Blaine Water Coalition activist Otto Pointer at the November 12, 2024, city council meeting (Case #24A39027)--has a problem with his plan to develop condos across Peace Portal Drive from his  Chevron  station downtown.

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. I copy my most recent letter to the City of Blaine below. This is the tip of the iceberg, and we have abundant evidence of widespread intentional wrongdoing.   To Blaine City Council, Planning Commission, and Community Development Services As you proceed with the downtown rezone/development regulation items of parking and building heights this month, I remind you that this process was corrupted at the outset when on 3/24/2023 Blaine City Council ordered the Blaine City...

GUEST COMMENTARY REJECTED BY CASCADIA DAILY NEWS

The CDN article about the  East Blaine de-annexation  and UGA Swap excludes any mention of the extensively documented Blaine Water Coalition objections we sent to CDN well in advance. I feel this is not fair and balanced coverage. CDN reporter Julia Tellman attended the July 14, 2025 Blaine City Council meeting where as a city council vacancy applicant I introduced myself as a member of the Blaine Water Coalition (BWC) speakers bureau, and provided both an oral and written presentation with alleged legal violations by the city related to the proposed UGA Swap, as well as BWC's legal objections to previous well-documented evidence of City misconduct. Tellman mentioned none of this, nor the fact that I alone was hastily appointed at the meeting to write the voters pamphlet statement against the city-sponsored initiative, despite four additional qualified  ‘Con’  applicants  (important n ote: the City received only one ‘Pro’ Applicant) . . This city attem...
