| Waiver request submitted by Mary Gill Lee, a member of the Pleasant Hill Board of Aldermen, regarding a $1500 late fee assessed for filing her 2011 Tier 3 annual pfd 54 days late. |
|
Ms. Lee is requesting a waiver. She states that she took over this position when her husband passed away in November 2010. Then, when there was no one to run again, they asked her to run for the position. Ms. Lee states that she was not aware of the seriousness of the filing and assumed she was not required to file since she never spent any money on a campaign.
Ms. Lee did file a 2010 Tier 3 candidate pfd when she ran in the April 2011 election.
