Waiver request submitted by Dennis C. Pevey, former member of the Highway Safety Commission, regarding a $850 late fee assessed for filing his 2019 Tier 2.1 annual pfd 17 days late. |
|
Dennis Pevey is requesting a waiver for the following reasons:
Mr. Pevey stated he resigned from his voluntary, non -compensated positions as Louisiana Highway Safety Commissioner on 5/12/2021. He had no ill intentions by not filing, but with the craziness of the Covid-19 Pandemic, he was unaware he needed to correct his report. He humbly asks the Ethics Board to waive the fine assessed against him, as he remedied the issue once he was made aware of the issue. He thanks the Ethics Board for reviewing his case and apologizes for creating more work for the Ethics Board and staff.
