| Waiver request submitted by James Terry "Bippy" Hoof, Cullen Board of Aldermen - Webster Parish, regarding a $1,500 late fee assessed for not filing his 2015 Tier 3 annual PFD as of this date. |
|
Mr. Hoof states that at the time the disclosure statement was due, he was taking care of his ill daughter. He explains that filing the disclosure statement slipped his mind. A review of the database indicates that two NODs-FF were issued to Mr. Hoof. One NOD-FF dated 8/3/16 was received on 8/5/16 that was requesting a candidate PFD for 2015 related to his candidacy for mayor in the November 2016 election. That PFD was timely filed with 7 business days. A second NOD-FF dated 8/3/16 was received on 8/5/16 requesting an annual PFD covering 2015 related to his position as aldermen. This PFD has NOT been filed.
