| Waiver request submitted by Clay Maglone, Jr., a Constable for East Feliciana Parish, District 1, regarding a $2,500 late fee assessed for filing a 2011 Tier 2 annual pfd 280 days late. |
|
Mr. Maglone states that it was an oversight in not responding to the April 2013 notice of delinquency as he thought he had filed a correct report. He states that this will not occur again.
Mr. Maglone also states this will create a financial hardship as he and his wife are living on a limited retirement income. Mr. Maglone is 87 years old and his wife is 86 yrs old. They do not earn enough income to be required to file taxes anymore. Ms. Maglone stated she will submit a copy of their bank statement showing what little they make on retirement. This will be presented at the board meeting.
