    <p>The State Board of Registration of Funeral Directors and Embalmers is comprised 
      of the following individuals:</p>
    <div class="insert">
	<ul>
		<li>Ms. Kathy Cartmell-Sirrico - Chair</li>
      	<li>Mr. Edward Mazur - Secretary</li>
      	<li>Mr. Ralph A. Barile - Member</li>
      	<li>Ms. Judith McCarthy - Public Member</li>
      	<li>Mr. John Bresnahan &#8211; Investigator</li>
	</ul>
	</div>
    <p>The State Board in its infinite wisdom decided to file a complaint against 
      me number EM-06-015 dated October 20, 2005. In order for the State Board 
      as a Board of Registration to issue a complaint, one would believe the Board, 
      comprised of the aforementioned individuals, reviewed and approved the complaint 
      prior to its issuance. </p>
    <p>The Division of Professional Licensure clearly states on its application 
      for complaint that any submission should be typed or printed; yet complaint 
      # EM-06-015 issued to me by the State Board itself was handwritten and illegible 
      &#8211; so much so that I, and my attorneys, were unable to read the description 
      of the incident in question.</p>
    <p>The following documents to include the cover letter from Mr. Bresnahan, 
      Investigator for the State Board along with the complaint, markings on the 
      complaint made by me after attempting to decipher the essence of the complaint, 
      correspondence from me to the State Board returning the complaint for clarification, 
      the response from the State Board and Mr. Bresnahan (unsigned), and a cover 
      letter from Atty. Daniel P. Flynn, Bowditch &amp; Dewey LLP along with my 
      response to the complaint.</p>

    <p> The issue to be noted here is not one of competence or incompetence, for 
      it is evident in the dealings we have had with the State Board in the past 
      two (2) years that there is a serious <strong><em>&#8220;Crisis of Confidence 
      and Competence&#8221;</em></strong> in their inner circle. Yet this is an 
      issue for another time.</p>
    <p>Incorporated in the Order to Show Cause and for which we have requested 
      a hearing more than sixteen (16) months ago, the issue addressed in this 
      most recent complaint was to be addressed at the hearing. Please re-read 
      the correspondence from Atty. Flynn to the State Board dated November 4, 
      2005. </p>
    <p>Just another <strong><em>&#8220;case of harassment&#8221;</em></strong> 
      on behalf of the State Board? <em><strong>You be the judge!</strong></em></p>
    <p><strong>Next Update - November 19, 2005 &#8211; </strong>at which time 
      I will present a chronology of events and contacts with our illustrious 
      elected and appointed state officials; the majority of whom could care less 
      for the on-going corruption at the State House &#8211; and yet these same 
      individuals want your vote and financial support so they can continue to 
      <strong><em>&#8220;feather their bed&#8221;</em></strong> while corruption 
      runs unchecked at the State House. </p>
    <p>I will ask the hard but necessary question &#8211; <strong><em>&#8220;At 
      what point do we hold these elected and appointed State Officials accountable 
      for their actions, and, in some cases, &#8216;lack thereof&#8217;?&#8221;</em></strong></p>
    <p>Don&#8217;t miss the answer!</p>
    <p>Respectfully, <br>
      Philip G. Haddad, Jr.</p>
