Senator Francis Thompson (on behalf of Mr. Mabray) filed a statement requesting that the fine be waived or reduced. Senator Thompson received correspondence from Mr. Mabray providing him with a chronology. Senator Thompson states that Mr. Mabray contacted our agency on June 11, 2015, requesting that a form be mailed to him; however, he states that the form was not received until his second request was made. A review of our database indicates that a form was mailed to Mr. Mabray on June 11, 2015, after confirming that the address on file was correct. Mr. Mabray called again on September 30, 2015 to say that he did not receive the form. He then stated that he would have his son print the form for him to complete and submit.
