Waiver request submitted by John Lane Ewing, Jr., former member of the Capital Area Ground Water Conservation District, regarding a $1500 late fee assessed for filing his 2022 Tier 2.1 annual pfd 77 days late. |
|
|
John Lane Ewing, Jr. would like to apologize for his delay in filing and respectfully request a waiver. He was appointed to the commission in the second half of 2022 and was unaware of his requirement to file a disclosure in addition to the disclosures he made when applying for the position. When Mr. Ewing received the Notice of Delinquency (NOD), he assumed it was for the calendar year 2023, which he filed in June 2024. This was an unintentional oversight.
