| Wavier request submitted by Lindora L. Baker, former member of the Caddo Parish Commission - District 6, regarding a $2,500 late fee assessed for not filing her 2014 Tier 2 Annual PFD as of this date. |

Ms. Baker states that the commission does not provide an administrative assistant to help with completing the disclosure statements and because she works a full-time job and serves the commission, she did not have the time to submit the disclosure statement.
