Mr. Jones failed to disclose income received as Mayor of Forest on his 2010 and 2011 annual pfds. Mr. Jones states the late fees imposition would create a financial hardship. He states he is trying to run his personal automotive business and has not taken a paycheck in two years and has used almost all personal funds keeping the business open. He is also going through a divorce. In addition, Mr. Jones is still paying medical bills resulting from cancer treatments, which he finished in September 2009. Mr. Jones has submitted over 100 pages of bills resulting from his medical treatments.
