Vincent J. Pierre was an elected official for 12 years as a state representative. He has filed all his disclosures timely during his tenure. Previously, his disclosure was submitted while in session, and he was unaware that a report was due in August. Mr. Pierre understands that the disclosure was filed untimely, but he made every effort to rectify it as soon as possible. He is humbly asking for a waiver of the assessed late fee.
