Original editor needs to clarify:

Olson has denied he abused his aides, although he attended two counseling sessions with Rep. Steve Sviggum, the Republican leader in the House.

1. The sentence is ambiguous with respect to the counseling. Did he attend with Sviggum, or was he counseled by Sviggum? Is Sviggum a counselor?

2. The sentence is at odds with the SC Citizen story: "Sviggum... recommended Olson receive counseling," and "Olson admits he was asked to meet with an employee relations counselor..."--Mr Grant 17:29, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

These newspaper clippings from 1997 should answer your questions[1]Avidor 02:06, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Very salutary. Why don't you go ahead and rewrite the article to remove that ambiguity?--Mr Grant 02:34, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

I think someone else should edit this article from now on... I've been accused of "bias" and this article may be scrapped as a result[2]... Good luck...Avidor 02:54, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
