INSOLENT CITY COUNCIL

The contemptuous conduct of Blaine City Council is something straight out of the President's playbook: 

lawlessness, looting, and thuggery.

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. In a November 28, 2023,  Hazardous Materials Analysis Report  presented by GeoEngineers to the City of Blaine, Hill's Chevron is listed as a 'high-risk' Department of Ecology site (Cleanup Site ID # 9280) due to confirmed releases of petroleum products--including  Benzene --on and off the property,  contaminating the groundwater  that migrates from the Chevron station under Starbuck's toward  Cain Creek  and  Drayton Harbor .

CARA PROTECTION DISTRICT PROPOSAL

November 24 letter to Whatcom County Council : Protect ing  Blaine and Birch Bay Critical Aquifer Recharge Areas (CARAs) Whatcom County oversees many special purpose districts with taxing authority to meet public needs. A  CARA Protection District  for Blaine and Birch Bay that can purchase the east Blaine and Birch Point CARA properties under county jurisdiction in order to protect our joint public water supply system, reduce flooding, and control urban pollution fits that purpose well.  Combined with improved stormwater management in the Drayton Harbor and Birch Bay watersheds, putting these aquifers in public hands would allow for public health, educational and recreational opportunities within an area beset by luxury, gated, planned unit developments.

THREATS HAVE CONSEQUENCES

November 9 letter to Whatcom County Prosecutor: On November 4, Whatcom District Court Judge Angela Anderson signed four one-year protection orders against David Brudvik. Mr. Brudvik threatened four citizens by name at the Blaine City Council town hall on October 13. Brudvik was ordered to surrender any firearms and other weapons to the Sheriff's Department. He may not contact or come within 1,000 feet of the four petitioners for protection.  Blaine Mayor Mary Lou Steward attended the court hearing, and Blaine Chief of Police Rodger Funk was called as a witness by Brudvik. I expect that the mayor is concerned about City of Blaine liability for her inciting violence against us that led to Brudvik's threat. The anonymous letter she cited accusing us of intentionally harming the community echoed previous defamation against us by Blaine City Manager Mike Harmon.  On October 22, Whatcom County Council voted to not allow Blaine to annex Birch Point as an Urban Growth Area.
