Waiver request submitted by Esmond Fredric Carr, III, Lakefront Management Authority, regarding a $1,450 late fee assessed for filing his 2021 Tier 2.1 annual pfd 29 days late. |
|
|
Esmond Fredric Carr, III, is a full-time engineer and father of four. He has no prior experience in public office or a political environment and no campaign funds, as his service was a civic duty. Mr. Carr was unaware of the report filing requirement and believed he was in compliance until her received the NOD. He immediately educated himself and filed the disclosure. The late fee would financially affect him and his ability to provide educational opportunities for his children. Mr. Carr deeply regrets this oversight and has taken steps to ensure future compliance. He would like to make an appearance.
