In connection with her request that the Board waive the late fee assessed for the late filing of the report, Ms. Baloney states that the original report was delivered via overnight mail to the Board of Ethics by Dr. Henry L. Hardy. The report was placed in the mail via overnight delivery on October 4, 2014 and was received by the Board of Ethics on October 6, 2014. On October 6, 2014, Dr. Hardy was advised via telephone, that the report must be filed electronically. Dr. Hardy was further advised that if the report was filed electronically on Wednesday October 8, 2014, the candidate would not be placed on the late list and any late charges would therefore be waived.
