Question (from an interview of Spencer in Sunday’s Coeur d’Alene Press:  You say your life if “very public.”  How so?

Larry Spencer: I face scrutiny for most things I do.  For example, last year I took my kids our for a boat ride on a friend’s boat.  He is also a political figure, and within half an hour of my walking to his boat at The Resort Marina, a post had been put up on a political gossip blog site by a prominent Democrat who wanted to know if this man with the boat and I were friends.  A couple years ago, I had moved before an election and didn’t vote.  That missed vote of mine was run as a story on the front page of the Sunday Idaho edition of the Spokesman-Review, above the fold and in a print size that could be read from about ten feet away.  Even the governor doesn’t face that level of pressure.
