Rep. Mark Olson in MPR Interview: "I Am Privileged to Serve"

MPR reporter Tom Scheck interviewed Rep. Mark Olson about how happy he is to be a "lone wolf".

Like Brandt William's MPR coverage of Gary Dean Zimmermann's investigation and trial, Tom Scheck's report paints a positive, almost heroic picture of Olson... failing to mention the one thing Olson spent much of his time doing in office... promoting personal rapid transit. On at least two occasions, at the Capitol and Minneapolis City Hall, the two jailbirds promoted PRT... together!!!

Tom Scheck doesn't have to look far for information on Olson and PRT... MPR's Don Olson reported on PRT in 2003 and Laura McCallum reported on Mark Olson, Dean Zimmermann and Michele Bachmann's efforts to pass PRT legislation in 2004.

Rep. Mark Olson's pre-trial hearing is in Sherburne County Court on Friday.
