In connection with his request that the Board waive the late fee assessed for the late filing of the report, Mr. Arthur Champ Jr. states that he called the Ethics Board at the beginning of his campaign and was told the only report he would have to file was on election day and he states that is what he did. He states he lost the election and now he is on a fixed income. He says his wife passed away in 2012 and he is now paying her hospital bills. He is asking the board to waive the $400 due to his financial situation.
