In connection with his request that the Board waive the late fee assessed for the late filing of the reports, Jackline H. Stafford, report preparer for Kevin Stafford states that this was their first time filing online. She says she completed the report on October 2, 2014 thinking that the submission was complete because the document was on file and it seemed to have been submitted successfully. It was not until October 10th that she found out the submission was not successful and that she would be penalized because she had the wrong date. The program sent a syntax error message, but did not state that it did not submit.
