RE:
Waiver request submitted by Camille Menard, a member of the Cankton Board of Aldermen, St. Landry Parish, regarding a $1,500 late fee assessed for filing a 2011 Tier 3 annual pfd 323 days late.
Facts:
Mr. Menard states that the late filing was an oversight and unintentional. He speculates that since it was addressed as "Ms. Camille Menard," his wife must have received the mail. An "Audrey Menard" signed for the notice of delinquency and sent to the address on record and listed on his report. Mr. Menard again states it was an honest oversight.
