Apologies to Taggart for the "cheap shot" on my part about his ego. It was uncalled for and wrong. I never met him. I'm sure he's a fine man just trying to do his job. My issue is with using a police escort to accompany him around town and the message it sends to kids as to what is important in society. In my mind, the $2,500 could have been spent in an infinite number of better ways.
