| Waiver request submitted by Senator Julie Quinn regarding a $600 late fee assessed for filing her 2011 Tier 2 annual pfd amendment 6 days late. |
|
Ms. Quinn states that she disclosed everything except her senate salary on her original report and did not intend to exclude it. She believes the fine for a simple mistake is excessive and harsh, especially for a single, working mother of two.
The Board has waived late fees associated with this type of amendment when the income has been reported on another schedule by category. However, Ms. Quinn failed to report her office and any income received from her office on any schedule.
