Waiver request submitted by Richard Kelly, Franklin Parish School Board / District 4, regarding a $500 late fee assessed for filing his amended 2019 Tier 3 annual pfd 89 days late and a $200 late fee assessed for filing his 2020 Tier 3 annual pfd 8 days late. |
|
Richard Kelly is requesting a waiver for the following reasons:
Mr. Kelly stated he fully accepts that he failed to file his disclosures in a timely manner, but he "simply overlooked" the filing and forgot to file the reports. Mr. Kelly stated he will not put himself in this situation of filing late again. He asks the Ethics Board to accept his apology for filing late and to waive his late fee assessments.
