I rushed to press yesterday, labeling the two Republicans serving on the Legislature's School Finance Reform Task Force as RINO's. My apologies to:

• State Senator Amy Koch, who has a 100 rating from the Taxpayers League, both 2006 and lifetime.


• State Representative Carol McFarlane, who is serving her first term and gets the benefit of the doubt for now. That she got elected in the perfect DFL storm of 2006 bodes well, in fact.

Regardless, they are badly outnumbered 3 to 1 as I said.

I also misread the P.S. Minnesota web site and therefore misreported it as being run by this group of Legislators, partly because I haven't found out yet who is in charge. It fit the template and I ran with it, like too many in the general media. Again, I apologize.
