re: Meyer v. Nantucket Building Dept.

Dear Mr. Pucci,

As I contemplate another hearing before the Board of State
Examiners of Plumbers and Gasfitters in the above-captioned case,
I am concerned about the risk for Mr. Ciarmataro, of whom as
you may infer from our prior correspondence, I am quite fond,
and whom I wish very much not to hurt. Please review carefully
the memoranda I have recently filed, and consider the possible
consequences for Mr. Ciarmataro's employment and even for his
plumber's license when these memoranda are emphatically 
brought to the attention of the Board. Government agencies
such as the Board of State Examiners of Plumbers and Gas Fitters
maintain their legitimacy by making scapegoats of individuals 
whose awkwardness illuminates the impracticality and irrationality
of their regulatory efforts.

If in your professional judgment, you find my concerns to be
valid, please do your utmost to protect Mr. Ciarmataro from
himself, and please always remember that even though I derive
much satisfaction from the process of litigating, I'm always
prepared to be generous and to compromise.

Sincerely,
Ernst Meyer
