RE:
Waiver request submitted by William J. Wilton Jr., with the State Museum Board, regarding $50 late fee assessed for filing his 2016 Tier 2.1 annual PFD 1 day late.
Facts:
Mr. Williams stated that he serves on the Museum Board voluntarily for his civic offering. He also stated that he receives no compensation for his service.
