RE:
Request to waive the $400 late fee assessed against Billy Burkette for the late filing of the March 2016 Lobbying Expenditure Report.
Facts:
Mr. Burkette is requesting a waiver of his penalty for the delay in filing his March expenditure report. He was taking care of his 84 year old elderly mother on the filing day and he was honestly overwhelmed with her decreasing health. Mr. Burkette has provided the obituary and would appreciate some leniency if possible.
