[edit] Controversies
Finch won a $1.7 million contract in the 1990s to build a pipeline across St. Andrew Bay that would carry away waste from a nearby paper mill. After construction of the pipeline began, the pipe began to be built above ground, which was a violation of requirements set forth by the Department of Environmental Protection. Finch and Phoenix were eventually cleared of any wrongdoing.[1]
In 2009, Finch and Phoenix were fined for allowing stormwater runoff to pollute creeks near an airport site.[1]
