Ms. Hoover states that she thought she had timely filed the disclosure statement. She requested that the late fee be waived seeing that the only discrepancy was that she failed to put the name of the board on the cover page. She states that she has served on the board for a number of years without compensation and has timely filed all other disclosure statements.
