| Waiver request submitted by Richard Kelly, a member of the Franklin Parish School Board, regarding a $1500 late fee assessed for filing his 2020 School Board Disclosure Statement 377 days late and a $1500 late fee assessed for filing his 2021 School Board Disclosure Statement 30 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.
