| Waiver request submitted by Robert Pervis Holtzclaw, Jr., Constable - Ouachita Parish, Ward 1, regarding a $2,300 late fee assessed for filing his amended 2013 Tier 2 Annual PFD 23 days late. |
|
Mr. Holtzclaw was requested to amend his 2013, pfd because he failed to disclose income received from the Town of Sterlington and Ouachita Parish. The income was not reported on any other schedule.
He states that he did initially file a Schedule F; however, it did not print and, therefore, was not filed. He states that the omission was not intentional. He also states that the imposition of a late fee would cause a financial hardship on his family. Correspondence was sent to Mr. Holtzclaw asking for supporting documentation. No response has been received.
