| And while decency may win out in some unforeseeable future, Finnegan won't be around. As he told us on Friday, he's retiring, for real this time. We asked him to reflect on his improbable ascent to power:..
Jules Vasquez, 7News
"As you make this announcement of retirement from political life, from electoral politics, Mike, you are from Conchshell Bay. You are a boy with a primary school leaving certificate."
Hon. Michael Finnegan - Area Rep, Mesopotamia
"Do I have that? The last time I check I never see any hanging (laughing). Amazing."
Jules Vasquez, 7News
"You grew up rough, but now as you retire, one of the strongest politicians the UDP has ever seen, probably top 2."
Hon. Michael Finnegan - Area Rep, Mesopotamia
"All that went on is that when you are coming up, you follow good people. You follow Dean Lindo, Evan X Hyde, Phillip Goldson, Manuel Esquivel - you grew up and raise as boyhood friendship with Dean Barrow. How can one go wrong?"
Jules Vasquez, 7News
"What will you do now that you are retired from electoral politics?"
Hon. Michael Finnegan - Area Rep, Mesopotamia
"I will have time to make more cowfoot soup and bake more pork leg and more turkey and bake more ham and make more conch soup and all the lovely dishes that you like. I will find time on my hand to do these things."
