Mr. Morrow stated that when he received the notice to amend his disclosure statement, he asked his "tax person" Dee Boudreaux to get this information and fax it to this agency. However, Mr. Morrow stated he later learned that Ms. Boudreaux was sending the information to the Department of Revenue. It was not until conversations on April 10, 2017, April 11, 2017, and April 12, 2017, did Mr. Morrow (and Ms. Boudreaux) realize that the documents were to be sent to the Ethics Board.
Mr. Morrow further states that he is scheduled to retire in January 2018 and his annual income will decrease. He request that the late fee be waived or reduced.
