Jeff Hoover on Rob Wilkey's departure

House Minority Floor Leader Jeff Hoover had this to say about Majority Whip Rob Wilkey's decision to leave the General Assembly after this term:

"Rob Wilkey is one of the best friends I have ever had in my life, and not just in the legislature since we began serving together in 1997. He is a true gentleman, very smart, hardworking and was an outstanding legislator. I am going to miss his personal friendship and counsel, but the people of Kentucky and the Kentucky General Assembly is losing one of its best…bar none."
