Waiver request submitted by Alvin Jackson, Richwood Alderman, regarding a $1,500 late fee assessed for filing his 2009 Tier 3 annual 134 days late. |
|
Mr. Jackson is seeking this waiver because he thought he was already granted a waiver for all late fees because he received several late fee assessments at the same time. However, Mr. Jackson was assessed late fees in connection with the late filing of campaign finance reports and requested a waiver in connection with those late fees. This is the first waiver request in connection with a pfd late fee.
