Attorney Troy Ingram ( on Crowley's behalf) states that Mr. Crowley did not receive any other delinquencies informing him of the need to file disclosure statements. It should be noted that it was not until Mr. Crowley filed a disclosure statement (related to his candidacy for St. Tammany Parish Council in the October 24, 2015 election) was the agency aware of his service on the St. Tammany Parish Fire Protection's Board of Directors. Mr. Crowley also states that he did not receive the Notice of Delinquency asking him to file the Tier 2.1 Annual PFD Statement covering 2014. A review of the green card indicates that the Notice was signed for by Lisa Crowley at the address on file.
