Steven R. Cohan submitted a waiver request stating since he resigned in 2019, he was under the impression that he was current with all of his required filings. The boards he served on were voluntary positions, and he did not receive any income or other benefits from serving his community. Mr. Cohan would appreciate it if the Ethics board would consider waiving his fine.
