*By Elan Glasser Santa Monica*

In the Daily Press article "OPCO chair won't give up financial records," (11/25/02) I am quoted as having encouraged the OPCO board to "get an attorney and get a settlement for Tom (Fuller.)" (Mr. Fuller filed a complaint against OPCO demanding its financial and membership records.) The quote implies that, as an OPCO board member, I was acting on Mr. Fuller's behalf. This is not correct. In fact, what I said was that I, along with other board members, had encouraged the OPCO board to retain an attorney in order to bring about a settlement to Mr. Fuller's complaint. My hope was that the organization could reach a settlement that would be mutually agreeable to both him and to the OPCO board.

I believe that OPCO has done important work in the Ocean Park community and I hope that the organization can soon settle its legal and financial matters and move forward with the issues that face the Ocean Park neighborhood.
