RE:
Waiver request submitted by Rose Legaux, a St. Charles Parish Constable, regarding a $2,500 late fee assessed for filing her 2012 Tier 2 annual pfd 268 days late.
Facts:
Ms. LeGaux apologizes for overlooking the letter of delinquency that she received in May 2014; however, that was a "second notice." Ms. LeGaux personally signed for the notice of delinquency in August 2013. Ms. LeGaux states that she had a knee replacement in April 2014; however, that was months after she received the notice of delinquency.

Ms. LeGaux, in the alternative, asks for payment arrangements to pay the fine.
