Mr. Brown states that he thought he filed the 2013 annual PFD in November 2015. He also states that he would not intentionally disregard the requirement as he is currently seeking the mayoral seat in the Town of Richwood. He further states that the imposition of the late fee would cause a considerable hardship on his family. Correspondence was sent out requesting supporting documentation. Response was due by March 17, 2016. No response has been received.
