Request to waive the $1,200 late fee assessed against Jack Blossman, Jr. for failure to timely file a Supplemental Lobbying Registration Report. |
|
Mr. Blossman filed his Supplemental Registration report for St. Tammany Parish, 24 days late on March 10, 2016. He was assessed a late fee of $1,200. Mr. Blossman states that the parish president signed the contract on February 10, 2016, but that is not the date he got it from the parish. The purchase order from the parish was not even submitted until February 25, 2016. Mr. Blossman is not certain of the date he received the package with the signed contract. The 25th was a Thursday, maybe it took a couple of days to get it back and then it was mailed to him on March 2nd, and then it took a day or two for him to receive the package, Friday March 4th. He filed the registration report on March 10, 2016. The date falls within the 5 days in which to file the report, unless the weekend is counted, then its one day late. Mr. Blossman has included a copy of the purchase order from the parish.
