| PFD answer submitted by Blaine LeCesne, member of the Lusher Charter School Board, challenging the requirement to disclose his wife's income from the Einstein Charter School. |

|
Blaine LeCesne's wife is employed with the Einstein Charter School. He received a NOD requesting he amend his PFD to disclose all income from the state, political subdivision or in connection with a gaming interest. Mr. LeCesne states that the Einstein Charter School is a private entity governed by a non-profit. He has filed the amendment, but still questions the requirement to disclose.
