RE:
Waiver request submitted by Iola Martin, a St. Helena Parish Constable, regarding a $700 late fee assessed for filing her 2012 Tier 2 annual pfd 7 days late.
Facts:
Ms. Martin is requesting a waiver of the late fees because she feels that she has timely filed the reports. She states that she always sends duplicate copies of the reports.

A review of our records indicate that Ms. Martin amended her 2012 report. She filed a Tier 2.1 report. Her position requires her to file a Tier 2 report.
