Finley's house up for auction
Waukesha - Former Waukesha County Executive Daniel Finley's house in Okauchee will be going on the auction block later this month.
Finley's house has been foreclosed on and the property at N53 W34296 Highway Q will be auctioned by the Waukesha County Sheriff's Department Feb. 20.
Waukesha County Circuit Court Judge Donald Hassin July 12 ordered a default judgment on the property as the couple failed to answer a foreclosure suit filed against them by Associated Bank in May.
According to court records, the couple stopped making monthly payments of $5,432 on a $1.2 million mortgage in December, 2010. The Finleys now live in Dana Point, Calif.
The Finleys did not respond to the foreclosure suit. In Hassin's ruling, the judge said along with the $1.2 million principal owed, the Finleys also owe $23,914 in interest through June 28, plus $1,810 in late fees, $1,850 in attorney fees and other assorted charges, resulting in a total of $1,229,136.
The house is being sold by The Weber Group, which is asking $999,900 for the house. The Finleys bought the 3,500-square-foot house in 2003.
Dan Finley served as county executive from 1991 to 2005.

When he and his wife were both working.....
......
Dan Finley, meanwhile, will still be knocking down $196,000 a year at the
Milwaukee museum and holding down the couple's $1.3 million Okauchee Lake
property.
"Our long-term plan was to retire to So Cal, so this accelerates things," wrote
Finley in his e-mail. "A great deal depends on what we do with the lake house."
So for now, the two will do what Finley calls a "bicoastal lifestyle." She comes
here for Thanksgiving. He heads there for the other holidays. No word on where
he celebrates his 52nd birthday Dec. 30.
It's the kind of long-distance marriage that Finley's friend and former chief of
staff, Susan Dreyfus, also 52, has come to know. She said spending weeks away
from her husband, Waukesha County Circuit Judge Lee Dreyfus, was the hardest
part of her new job as secretary of the Washington state Department of Social &
Health Services.
I caught the Dreyfuse

Sounds like no one is immune to the Barney Frank housing debacle.
