THE CONTROVERSY SURROUNDING A BRONZE PLAQUE HANGING IN THE STATE CAPITAL ROTUNDA MAY BE ONE STEP CLOSER TO RESOLUTION. THE PLAQUE HONORS MINNESOTANS WHO FOUGHT IN THE SPANISH AMERICAN WAR IN THE PHILIPPINES.....BUT IT CONTAINS INACCURACIES AND LANGUAGE OFFENSIVE TO MINNESOTANS OF FILIPINO DESCENT.. THIS AFTERNOON A NEW EXHIBIT WILL GO UP NEXT TO THE PLAQUE -- AN EFFORT TO CORRECT THE MISTAKES....BUT AS Minnesota Public Radio's MARY STUCKY REPORTS, FOR SOME, IT STILL DOESN'T GO FAR ENOUGH.
