Were you waiting for the media to report it? He did make a statement it just wasn’t widely reported but it is on his official site.

This is the old, if a tree falls in the forest issue. If news happens but the media doesn’t report it, does it make a sound?
Yes, i was waiting, for either the radio company that owns all 8 stations in town, to say something, or the regional Gannett fishwrap to report something.
I rarely visit politicians’ websites.
