Douglass Finlay

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"
