General
- Co-founder of the multi-billion-leck company Finlay-McLennan
- Partner: Roger McLennan
- Announced, on 20-OCT-05, he was going to run for the Perplex City Council Leader position.
- Will be running against Nathan Earlywine, and incumbent Camryn Scott
- His chief platform is for strong, open leadership, unlike that of such people as Sente Kiteway.
- Statements regarding the competition:
- Camryn Scott: "It has sadly become clear to everyone that she should step down."
- Nathan Earlywine: "[He] is a great man, yet he sees our city the way it was, not as the shining beacon of significance and innovation it could be."
- 05?-JUN-06 - His campaign was beseiged when an anonymous stack of reports and documents implicated his connection to a string of Watergate-ish snoopish and infiltrating schemes
- This specifically involves wire-tapping the homes of major candidates, including that of Camryn Scott.
- Campaign manager Anton Kaneda decried the entire affair as "complete fabrication, probably concocted by the same members of the old guard who are now crying victim"
- For a week or more, accusations and denials flew about.
- Dispite all this, Finlay has not dropped out of the campaign.
- Finlay's approval ratings have been plummeting ever since the controversial documents were revealed. His all-time high approval polled at 63%, but that number has fallen to 23%.
- 05-JUL-06 - As Finlay's ratings sank lower and lower, his campaign manager, Anton Kaneda, opted to resign from his position.
- Kaneda may have been pressing Finlay to drop out of the race, but Finlay appears to stand firm.
