Relative to this, here's some interesting information from the General Manager's written evaluation of Deserie Lawrence, the former Marketing and Public Relations Department head fired by Olson.

In one category, "Decisiveness," that looks at an employee's "initiative and courage to act" Olson gives her a "U" rating -- unsatisfactory. Yet in another category Olson complains that she tried to negotiate free editorial space for OPA in the Independent without asking him. So much for "initiative and courage."

Somewhat unrelated, but interesting, are Olson's evaluation comments about her lack of skill in writing news releases. Those with good memories may recall that OPA sent out a news release when she was hired. Olson told me he had asked each candidate to write a news release announcing their hiring should they be selected for the job. Olson used the writing quality of each candidate's news release as part of his evaluation process.

And the source of the above information is .........??
