RE:
Request to reconsider the Board's decision to decline to waive a $1500 late fee assessed against David Weathersby, former member of the East Jefferson General Hospital Service District, for filing his 2019 Tier 2.1 annual pfd 118 days late.
Facts:
Mr. Weathersby is requesting a waiver stating that his family has been suffering with tremendous loss and work stoppage. He also stated this late fee would create a financial hardship.

Reconsideration: He states this was his first time to run for office (he appears to be confusing his service on the board with his candidacy).
