Waiver request submitted by Chandra Latrece Ford, former member of the Learning Solutions Charter School Board, regarding a $1500 late fee assessed for filing her 2017 Tier 3 annual PFD 228 days late. |
|
Chandra Ford is requesting a waiver or reduction for the late filing of her 2017 PFD for the following reasons:
Ms. Ford stated she was under the impression that she had submitted her disclosure timely prior to receiving a notice in October 2019. After reading the order, Ms. Ford said she found no record of receiving a statement in March 2019, and she responds to any mailings she receives from the Board of Ethics. She says she is unable to submit payment with unexpected emergency expenses and would prefer to resolve this matter promptly and avoid any negative reflection on her record. Ms. Ford thanks the Ethics Board for their consideration on this matter.
