Taryn Hecker: I don't agree with Spencer on much of anything. Including his interpretation that his mullet isn't a mullet. But I do appreciate the Spencers in this community who speak their minds and are a perennial pain in the arse of our local bureaucrats if for no other reason than to keep them on their toes. With fewer, make that close to nil, investigative reporters left somebody needs to be serving as watchdogs over local government. Gotta give props to Spencer for watchdogging. Even if he's only on the money some of the time.

Question: What do you think of Taryn's contention that watchdogs like Spencer benefit their communities, even when they are off base some/much of the time?
