Mr. Carroll: With every design and plan submitted and built the landscape architect exposes himself to many liabilities both public and private. Such liabilities come from federal, state and local realms, dealing with handicap access, pollution, sustainability, water conservation, building codes, etc. I invite you to pick up any one of these guidelines and thumb threw it to expose yourself to the strict design codes landscape architects must satisfy, thereby understanding liabilities we are exposed to and thereby understanding the need for some regulation. Having been raised in South Lake Tahoe, Calif. (one of the most regulated regions in our nation) my whole life I have seen and experienced first hand the destruction that over-regulation can cause to individuals, families and a community. Here, I think we would agree this profession does require more than a pick-up, a Home Depot account and fluency in two languages.

Mr. Carroll, in our professional world (landscape architecture) we do not whistle while we work to the tune of ?EUR??,,????'?????<

Please send my best to Mickey.
