Mr. Jackson is requesting a waiver of his late fee of $2,500, an appeal of the assessment and an extension of time to correct his issues with the board. He states that he needs to speak with an attorney to understand the Boards letter of 7/10/18. He has not filed his PFD and appears to be requesting multiple options in order to delay filing the PFD.
