Sally Shushan volunteers for the Audubon Commission and takes her position seriously. She attends a vast majority of meetings and serves on the executive committee. Ms. Shushan has complied with the 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2023 reports. The 2022 FTF notice was signed by a mail carrier and left in Ms. Shushan's mailbox. As soon as she was aware of the delinquency, she filed on 12/6/2023. Ms. Shushan believes the above facts are good cause for the proposed penalty to be waived.
