| Waiver request submitted by Louis James "L.J." Mayweather, a member of the DeSoto Parish School Board, District 11, regarding a $1,500 late fee assessed for filing his amended 2012 Tier 3 annual pfd 110 days late. |
|
Mr. Mayweather states that he unintentionally filed the disclosure statement late. He states that he received two notices on October 31, 2014; however, he thought they were requesting the same information and only opened one letter and responded to one of the Notices. A review of the database indicates that two notices were issued. Both were issued on October 28, 2014 and received on October 31, 2014. One notice requested that he file an amended 2012 PFD and the other notice requested that he file a 2013 PFD. The 2013 PFD was timely filed.
The amendment requested was to disclose his annual income by exact dollar figure. There is only one schedule on a Tier 3 that provides for income to be reported.
Mr. Mayweather has been filing since his 2009 Tier 3 pfd.
