Waiver request submitted by James William "Bill" Starr, Citizen's Property Insurance Corporation, regarding a $650 late fee assessed for filing his amended 2018 Tier 2.1 annual pfd 13 days late. |
|
Mr. Starr stated during the time period his delinquency notice was issued, he was retiring from the District Attorney's office. When the Governor was reelected his appointment ended. When no one else sought his position on the board, he was reappointed. Since serving on the board, his financial circumstances have not changed except for a reduction in his pay. He has enjoyed serving on the board and would never do anything to compromise the board integrity. Mr. Starr stated this fine comes at a time when the Covid-19 Pandemic has seriously affected his civil practice. Also, he just paid for his son's last semester at UNO and is making payments on various items for his daughter's upcoming wedding.
In addition, Mr. Starr recently underwent brain surgeries for a brain bleed. His home also suffered damage as a result of Hurricane Ida.
