Quintin D. Taylor states that one reason his statements were submitted late was due to he impact of COVID. During the pandemic, he was focused on the health and safety of his family. He led the statewide internal and external communications and logistics efforts to help the 12 colleges and system office to move their operations remotely. From March 2019 through June 2021, he focused on his personal and professional responsibilities. Additionally, the Louisiana Trucking and Education Research Council meeting schedule was uncertain at times. Initially, Mr. Taylor did not receive the notices. After requesting copies of the signatures, he realizes the 2020 notice was mailed to his previous job address. The notice was later sent to his address, but delivered to another address and signed by someone who does not reside with him. He would like to ask for a waiver of the assessed late fee.
