For seven years, Boulder City police chief Thomas Finn has done a pretty good job of maintaining the peace in his green, clean, and mostly quiet community. But kiss the peace goodbye. Finn has just uncorked a huge vat of worms and has essentially called out the city’s power structure.
It’s tough for those of us who don’t live in Boulder City to follow the intricacies of its incestuous political structure because it gets so little coverage here. But Las Vegas media might want to set up B.C. bureaus because, according to Finn’s allegations, that bedroom burg is a seething cauldron of intrigue, revenge and discrimination, ruled by a small, closely knit cabal of power players, a group of folks who, you might say, are all cut from the same cloth.
