Your verb needs corrected

The following sentence, taken from a paper which shall remain nameless, is just wrong. W-R-O-N-G:

Reilly said Moreno outlined four things that needed corrected before the petition could be approved.

It should be "needed to be corrected" or "needed correcting." I just hate that mistake. It's made far too often in spoken and written English these days. Please try to avoid it.
