RE:
Request that the Board waive the $50 late fee assessed against Frederick Yorsch for his failure to timely file a lobbyist expenditure report.
Facts:
Mr. Yorsch filed his lobbyist expenditure report that was due by May 28, 2013, 1 day late on May 29, 2013. He was assessed a late fee of $50. Mr. Yorsch states although he knows they're a courtesy, he had always relied on the reminders sent from our office to file reports. He didn't receive a reminder for the April reports and he missed the date but immediately filed when he received the Notice of Failure to File.
