RE:
Request that the Board waive the $50 late fee assessed against Thad Ackel Jr. for failure to timely file his November 2011 Legislative lobbying expenditure report.
Facts:
Mr. Ackel filed his Legislative ER-11/11 lobbying expenditure report that was due by December 27, 2011, one day late on December 28, 2011. He was assessed a late fee of $50.
