RE:
Waiver request submitted by Floyd Terrell, Sabine Parish constable, regarding a $1,500 late fee assessed for filing his 2010 Tier 3 annual pfd 287 days late.
Facts:
Mr. Terrell is requesting a waiver because he states he filed his pfd timely and submits supporting documentation. However, the financial disclosure statement that he submitted timely was the financial disclosure required of all constables to file with the legislative auditor's office. Mr. Terrell did not file his Tier 3 pfd timely with the Board. No other reasons were given by Mr. Terrell for his late filing.
