Local Businessman Quoted About Cain Accusations

Local restauranteur who owns Du-par's in Studio City and has long been a local fixture in area business, was quoted in the Wall Street Journal about the sexual harrassment allegations against Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain.

Naylor was quoted as a fellow board member of the restaurant association that reportedly settled the issues saying:

W.W. "Biff" Naylor, a California restaurant owner and restaurant association board member, cast doubt on the idea of a settlement by the trade group. Mr. Naylor said he was unaware during Mr. Cain's three-year tenure at the association of any sexual allegations concerning Mr. Cain. Mr. Naylor said he also was unaware of any harassment-related settlement going before the executive board, on which he also served.

"There is no way we would have paid a settlement without this going before the executive board," said Mr. Naylor, who as chairman hired Mr. Cain as the trade group's president in 1996.
