| Waiver request submitted by Theresa Wyatt, a member of the Lincoln Parish Police Jury, regarding a $1,500 late fee assessed for filing her 2011 Tier 3 annual pfd 305 days late. |
|
Ms. Wyatt is requesting a waiver due to the diagnosis of her husband with alzheimer disease in 2011. She states that the period prior to and up to his death became a time of forgetfulness for her. Ms. Wyatt states that doctor visits, medications and unusual behavior on his and her part became a period of stress. Most of her time was consumed with taking care of his needs and some of her demands were not met. Her husband died on September 15, 2014 after a fierce battle with the disease, high blood pressure, diabetes and stroke of the brain.
Senator Gallot has submitted a letter asking the Board to recognize the disarray in Ms. Wyatt's life and grant her waiver.
