RE:
Waiver request submitted by Debra Guidry-Thomas, member of the Church Point Board of Aldermen, regarding a $1,500 late fee assessed for filing her amended 2010 Tier 3 annual pfd 364 days late.
Facts:
Ms. Guidry-Thomas believes she filed and must have filed the wrong tier or put the wrong year. However, this was not a failure to file but a failure to amend. She failed to disclose her income received from the Town of Church Point.
