Waiver request submitted by Major Charles D. "Chuck" McNeal, Gaming Control Board / Ex-Officio, regarding a $1500 late fee assessed for filing his 2020 Tier 2.1 annual pfd 139 days late. |
|
|
Major Charles D. McNeal does not recall being advised to file disclosures because he attended the Louisiana Gaming Control Board meeting in place of Colonel Davis. Mr. McNeal's role is limited and anyone can sit in place of the Colonel in his absence. The Louisiana State Police has additional policies that determine his role and limits due to his position. He states there isn't an issue with filing a disclosure, but that he was unaware he was required to do so. After researching the gaming laws and rules, his understanding was that there aren't any laws about designees of those ex officio members being allowed or required to file.
