Kim Kimbrough, treasurer/report preparer for Kevin Bates, requests a waiver and states the following: After losing the primary, Ms.Kimbrough spoke with their local "expert" who had been assisting with the reporting process. He incorrectly advised that the 40-G would be the next and final report. After receiving the delinquency notice, they immediately contacted the BOE and filed that same day. Every effort has been made to submit each report timely. Please waive the assessed late fee.
