Rebecca Beard is requesting a waiver for the late filing of her 2019 annual disclosure and states that she is a Special Education Teacher and due to the hectic work demands brought on by the Covid-19 Pandemic, she was unable to submit a timely disclosure. Both she and her husband (who is a State Trooper) both have experienced extra responsibilities at work and as a family with two young children. She has not been able to devote extra time to outside business. Mrs. Beard thanks the Ethics Board for their consideration on this matter.
