| Waiver request submitted by Pamella Durrett, a member of the Simsboro Board of Aldermen, Lincoln Parish, regarding a $1,500 late fee assessed for filing her 2011 Tier 3 annual pfd 320 days late. |
|
Ms. Durrett states that the post office attempted to deliver the notice of delinquency but the delivery hours were during her work hours. Ms. Durrett asked her mother-in-law at the time (she is going through a divorce) to pick up the mail, which she did. However, she does not remember receiving the letter from her former mother-in-law.
She states the imposition of the fine would create a huge financial burden on her as she is going through a divorce.
Representative Robert Shadoin has asked to appear as her lawyer as he has information regarding her financial hardships and the divorce.
