Mr. Nealy states he resigned his position that required him to file a PFD in March 2014. He states this is why he did not file a statement for the years 2015 and 2016. He was unaware that he was not taken off the board until a replacement was found. He was not actively serving on the board. The Workforce Development Board shows that his term ended in November 2016. No resignation letter has been submitted.

Consider the waiver request. Suspend all but $1050 based on future compliance with the reporting requirements under the Code of Ethics. The $1050 is payable within 30 days and if payment is not received within 30 days, the full amount of the late fee becomes due and owing.
