| Request that the Board waive the $2,000 campaign finance late fee assessed against Atmos Energy Corporation PAC, a political action committee, its committee's treasurer, David Mason, in the November 6, 2018 election, whose 30-P campaign finance report was filed 13 days late. |
|
David Mason, treasurer for Atmos Energy Corporation PAC, states that the late filing was due to an accidental oversight rather than an attempt to hide activity. He states that the PAC discovered and remediated the failure through internal efforts. He states the report was filed and available to the public well before the election. He states the PAC has identified the cause of the late filing and has taken remedial actions to avoid a recurrence of a late filing.
