Daniel Carl Moore did not know how to fill out his disclosure originally due 5/17/2021, which was due to a lack of knowledge. He is requesting a waiver of the fee because he is not a wealthy man and has 4 kinds with his wife. He states that his reason for not filing was not due to laziness or ignoring his responsibilities, but that he didn't know the process to file a disclosure of a waiver request. On Mr. Moore's behalf, his wife Jennifer Moore notes that the ballot was completed by someone who asked him to run for office and he didn't campaign at all. He merely wanted to help his community. Ms. Moore states that her husband is a plumber and does not work with computers. This is a reason he has trouble filing. She was informed of her husband's options in 2021 after he became delinquent. Ms. Moore faxed the completed paperwork to BOE, but it was not received. Ms. Moore does not know of any other options to rectify the situation, so they both asking for a waiver of the assessed late fee.
