Milhado Shaffer, III is the father of Thomas Shaffer. Milhado Shaffer serves as a member of the Terrebonne Levee and Conservation District and the Terrebonne Veterans Memorial District.
After graduating from college and in October 2012, Thomas Shaffer accepted his first full-time job with T. Baker Smith making $15/hour. Since T. Baker Smith performs work for the aforementioned Districts at times, Thomas Shaffer was required to file an annual financial disclosure statement by May 1, 2013 disclosing his income received during the three (3) months he worked in 2012.
Mr. Shaffer had just returned to Louisiana after living as a dependent in the Armed Forces for his entire life and he was not familiar with the filing requirements as a civillian employee.
There are no waiver guidelines for this type of disclosure. This is Mr. Shaffer's first late filing.
