Waiver request submitted by Linda Sue Bailey, former member of the Eros Board of Alderman / Jackson (Pop. 155), regarding a $1500 late fee assessed for filing her amended 2018 Tier 3 annual PFD 79 days late. |
|
Linda Bailey is asking for a waiver for failing to file her 2018 Amendment timely for the following reasons:
Mrs. Bailey stated that failing to file her amendment was an oversight. She is a retired, senior citizen living on a limited income. She stated that she only received $550 annually for her position. She resigned from the board in February 2020. During her term years of 2018-2019, she was "dealing" with her ill mother and her subsequent death. Mrs. Bailey stated that her husband was also suffering with health issues during that time. She asks the Ethics Board to please waive her late fee in its entirety as her failure to amend timely was truly an oversight. She thanks the Ethics Board for their consideration in advance.
