Answer by Gerald Lean Foreman, Rayne Board of Aldermen, Ward 4, located in Acadia Parish in response to a notice of delinquency regarding his 2014 Annual Tier 3 candidates PFD.
Facts:
Mr. Foreman received a notice of delinquency on July 14 , 2015, requesting the he file his 2014 Tier 3 annual personal financial disclosure statement. An answer was filed by Mr. Foreman stating that he filed his report by fax May 14, 2015, therefore he should not be required to file a 2014 Tier 3 Annual Personal Financial Disclosure.

R.S. 42:1124.4 provides that upon discovery of the failure to file, failure to timely file, omission of information or inaccurate information, the Board shall notify the filer by sending him a notice of delinquency by certified mail. The notice of delinquency shall inform the person that the financial statement must be filed, or that the information must be disclosed or accurately disclosed, or that a written answer contesting the allegation of such failure, omission, or inaccuracy must be filed no later than seven (7) business days after receipt of the notice of delinquency.
