RE:
Request to waive the $750 late fee assessed against Stephen Ledet for the late filing of the June 2018 Lobbying Expenditure Report.
Facts:
Mr. Ledet states that, as of July, 2018, he began a new position with Cornerstone Government Affairs. He states that his laptop, email and office support system were not available for approximately one month after taking the new position. He further states that, in his previous role at Entergy, he had assistance with filing his monthly reports, and he no longer has an assistant.
