Waiver request submitted by George Havard Yerger Jr., a member of the Workforce Investment Board, #71, regarding a $1,500 late fee assessed for filing his amended 2014 Tier 2.1 annual pfd 370 days late. |
|
Mr. Yerger stated that he did not realize that he forgot to sign the disclosure statement. He further stated that it was not his intent to miss that portion of the form- he simply overlooked it.
Mr. Yerger further stated that he received no compensation for his service on the board. He requests that the late fee be waived as he sees it as being "punitive, excessive, mean spirited and certainly harsh for an innocent mistake when one is trying to only help the community."
