RE:
Request to waive the $800 late fee assessed against Barry Goldwater, Jr., for the late filing of the September 2016 Lobbying Expenditure Report.
Facts:
Mr. Goldwater states that being late in reporting was not intentional. He states that, unfortunately, the due date was overlooked by new staff unfamiliar with Louisiana's lobbying requirements. He states that they have taken action to ensure that this mistake is not repeated by creating calendar reminders for future due dates. He stated that he takes his responsibilities seriously, but this one just got away.
