In connection with his request that the Board waive the late fee assessed for the late filing of the report, Mr. Paxton states that his assistant Donna Abrahm who is responsible for the timely filing was dealing with a personal family injury. Her husband broke his neck which required immediate emergency care and repair. When she realized that the deadline had passed, she immediately informed him and he then called the Ethics Board.
