| Waiver request submitted by Donald Oliveaux, a Richland Parish Constable, regarding a $1,500 late fee assessed for filing his 2011 Tier 3 annual pfd 280 days late. |
|
|
Mr. Oliveaux states that he forgot to file his pfd but cannot afford the $1,500 late fee. His 77 year old mother fell off her porch head first injuring herself to the point where she could not walk. Since his brother lives out of state and his sister works the railroad, Mr. Oliveaux had the responsibility of caring for his mother. She spent a lot of time in the hospital and in rehab during the fall of 2012. Further, Mr. Oliveaux only earns $14,000/annually as a school bus driver and $2,400/annually as a constable.
