CROOKED COPS COOK BOOKS

Blaine Chief of Police Rodger Funk and Officer Zachary Taxdahl apparently cooked the books on the so-called investigation of citizens opposing financial conflicts of interest by Blaine officials.  Instead of investigating proven allegations of perjury, self-dealing and fraud by Blaine officials, Blaine police were used by the mayor and city manager to intimidate open government activists who exposed Commissioner Sam Randhawa, Councilman Mike Hill, and developer Gurdeep Bains for 'self-dealing'. Chief Funk then sent officers to the homes of the open government activists with notices that we are banned from Starbuck's, Bordertown Mexican Grill, Blaine Visitor's Center, and Chevron (tenants of Mike Hill).

After we informed Starbuck's attorneys, Chief Funk phoned us to say we can now shop anywhere but Chevron. He will be getting a call from their attorneys as well.

Additionally, Chief Funk chose to testify on behalf of a convicted violent felon in the Whatcom District Court hearing who had threatened to murder these same open government activists. The Facebook video where this felon threatened to commit murder of four activists was 'liked' by Mayor Steward.

A little over a year ago, Chief Funk intervened on behalf of a perpetrator (Mike Hill) rather then protect the victim who was accosted by a Blaine official. This is reminiscent of the 1960s in Mississippi, when cops murdered Civil Rights activists.

Where is Washington Attorney General Nick Brown?

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...

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...
