| Waiver request submitted by Dwight Vicon Jarrett, former member of the New Orleans Regional Park Commission, regarding a $1,500 late fee assessed for filing his 2014 Tier 2.1 annual PFD 140 days late. |
|
Mr. Jarrett states that he failed to timely file the disclosure statements because he did not understand the process. He explains that he filed disclosure statements with the City of New Orleans and for that reason did not think he was required to file with this agency.
Mr. Jarrett also states that because he and his son share the same name, that too, caused confusion.
Mr. Jarrett's term ended in December 2015. He has not filed his last report.
