Waiver request submitted by Johnny Williamson, unsuccessful candidate for the Caddo Parish Board of Commissioners - District 3 in the October 24, 2015 election, regarding a $600 late fee assessed for filing his amended 2014 Tier 2 Candidate PFD 6 days late. |

Mr. Williamson received a NOD-Amend because he disclosed income received by his wife from the Caddo Parish School board by category rather than by exact dollar figure.
Mr. Williamson states that he was experiencing tremendous personal difficulties on and around the time the disclosure statement was due. He was the caregiver for his wife during her treatment for cancer, as well as several deaths of family members that occurred during that same time period. Mr. Williamson provided the attached documentation.
