RE:
Reconsideration of a request that the Board waive the $500 in late fees (reduced from $1500) assessed against lobbyist Tyron D. Picard for the failure to timely file a Supplemental Registration.
Facts:
There was a clerical oversight reporting the End Date of Representation of Mr. Picard's client Flightline, and not an attempt to evade responsibility. The error was immediately corrected and filed upon discovery. Safeguards have been internally implemented to avoid any possibility of a reoccurrence of this type of error, and he apologizes.
