| Waiver request submitted by Brian E. Lawlor, former member of the New Orleans Workforce Investment Board, regarding a $1,500 late fee assessed for filing his 2013 Tier 2.1 Annual PFD 86 days late. |
|
Mr. Lawlor states that his failure to file the disclosure statement was an error. He thought he was not required to file disclosure statements with this agency because he was already filing disclosure statements with the City of New Orleans. He states that once he was informed on the requirement, he complied.
Although Mr. Lawlor states he was not aware of the filing requirement, he has filed other disclosures with the Board. In addition, he personally signed the green card for the NOD.
