So there I was driving this afternoon listening for reasons passing understanding to Rick Jensen’s show on WDEL 1150. He was hosting his show from a reception for a Delaware Small Business organization (I didn’t catch the full name) and was interviewing both the organization’s President and Senator Hocker. The organization’s President was going on and on about all the horrible fees and taxes small businesses have to pay and Rick jokes that his 3 hour show is not enough time to list all the taxes and fees (which is of course a lie). Then Hocker jumps in, and I presume that Jensen was interviewing both the Organization President and Hocker at the same time and Hocker says (paraphrasing): “Well when I am governor I will get rid of all these fees and taxes because I will surround myself with all the right people.” And he said it in such a Southern accent that I thought I was momentarily transported to Mississippi. But that is besides the point. To my mind, I think this is the first time I have heard Hocker publicly announce his long rumored desire to run for Governor.
