RE:
Request to waive the $200 late fee assessed against Sara Berthelot for the late filing of the October 2016 Lobbying Expenditure Report.
Facts:
Mrs. Berthelot states that she is a newly registered lobbyist and the urgency of a timely filed report is now better understood. She attended training in December to increase her knowledge of rules and has organized her calendar to manage submittals. Her home office flooded in August, which required her to dismantle her office during construction for an extended time.
