Some legislative campaign tidbits...

``Jack (Hoogendyk) was standing in the middle of my house, and I just want to know why he was there,'' DeShazor said of the encounter that occurred about 2:45 p.m. Wednesday. ``I did not give him permission to come in or invite him.''

DeShazor said he quickly escorted Hoogendyk and a repairman, who was installing a new water heater and who Hoogendyk said he knew, out of his home.

``He said he was there to give me his campaign material. Why would I want his campaign material?'' DeShazor said.

Hoogendyk said he encountered the repairman in DeShazor's driveway. He said he held the door open for the repairman to re-enter DeShazor's home and asked him if DeShazor was home before stepping inside and standing in the living room.

Hoogendyk said he handed DeShazor a legislative newsletter and told him, ``I thought you'd like some information on what's going on in Lansing.''

DeShazor said he still has many questions.

``It's hard to describe the emotion,'' he said. ``Just think about it. There's someone in your house.''

Senator's interest in deck still a puzzle
