| Waiver request submitted by Jonathan Hunter, candidate for Coroner - Rapides Parish, in the October 24, 2015 election, regarding a $2,500 late fee assessed for filing his amended 2014 Tier 2 annual PFD 152 days late. |
|
Dr. Hunter received the NOD-amend because he failed to file a cover sheet or a notarized form. Dr. Hunter states that one of his employees signed for the NOD; however, he never personally received it. He states that he was unaware of the need to amend the PFD until he received the late fee notice. Dr. Hunter states that had he known about the NOD, he would have filed the amendment immediately. Dr. Hunter has requested his business address remain his mailing address.
