| Waiver request submitted by Jules Kevin Bordelon, Soybean Research and Grain Promotion Board, regarding a $300 late fee assessed for filing his 2014 Tier 2.1 Annual PFD 6 days late. |
|
Mr. Bordelon states that the Farm Bureau usually reminds the members to file personal financial disclosure reports; however, in this instance, he did not inform the secretary of his new email address.
Mr. Bordelon has greater concern for the board he serves than to filing this report. He states that he does not feel very compelled to pay this fine.
