CRIMINAL JUSTICE COMMISSION VIOLATES CIVIL RIGHTS

 [June 10, 2026 letter to AAG Noah Purcell]

Dear Associate Attorney General Purcell,

I am a complainant to the CJTC, which opened an investigation of Blaine and Ferndale police officers for retaliatory policing against me as an open government activist for exposing self-inurement by three Blaine public officials, and fraud by two others. In Blaine, citizens are now fearful of participating in civics. Our local newspaper vilified open government activists opposing municipal corruption, so fear is to be expected. We are not yet a police state in Washington, but in Blaine we are.

On Monday, June 8, 2026, the CJTC posted notice on its website that my three complaints had been declined, and the investigation that opened on March 6, 2026 was closed. Blaine City Manager Mike Harmon announced it at the June 8 Blaine City Council meeting, and The Northern Light news emailed me on June 9 for comment. Problem is, I was never interviewed by a CJTC investigator, as is required under CJTC procedure.

On June 9, I contacted Lauren Caputo-Allen, CJTC community liaison, as well as Kimberly Bliss, CJTC Assistant Director, Certification, to inform them of the unlawful closing of my case. This morning I learned that the CJTC commissioners met last night and reopened my case. This experience does not induce trust in the commission's competence, nor faith in its integrity. It looks and smells like a whitewash, ripe for federal court.

Open government activists in Blaine have been targeted for harassment by the mayor's allies, and on November 4, 2025, Whatcom District Court Judge Angela Anderson issued civil protection orders for the four, including myself, who received death threats from a convicted violent felon friend of Mayor Mary Lou Steward, who supported the felon's death threat video on Facebook.. As you can see in my blog posts PROSECUTING WHITE COLLAR CRIME and COMMUNICATION BREAKDOWN/RETALIATORY POLICING, the City of Blaine is a criminal enterprise.

We need the AG to open an investigation into racketeering by Blaine officials, as well as into retaliatory policing that deprives us of equal protection under the law. Blaine Chief of Police Rodger Funk sent officers to my doorstep to intimidate me for opposing municipal corruption. What are you going to do?

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. They could become forested 'greenway parks' as a n oasis from the surrounding chaos. Recommendation Whatcom  County Council   adopt  a  moratorium on  new  development applications...

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.
