When Coffman saw the article, "I was surprised," he says. "I just about fell off my chair -- because the treasurer doesn't make fiscal policy." On most occasions, Coffman adds, he doesn't formally complain when something isn't printed precisely as he said it: "If it's a minor issue, I don't care. But this wasn't a minor issue." He called Post editors to report the botched quote, and praises the paper for printing a correction. Still, Coffman notes, "This Trent Seibert has quite a reputation."
