| Waiver request submitted by Lea Williams, West Feliciana Parish Police Juror-District 1, regarding a $1,500 late assessed for filing her 2015 Tier 3 annual pfd 166 days late. |
|
|
Ms. Williams states that she is requesting a waiver because she has a Late Fee Order stating she is zero days late. However, that is not what the Late Fee Order states. Ms. Williams was issued a Late Fee Order, in error, for her 2015 Tier 3 Candidate PFD for another office she sought in the 2016 election. That Late Fee Order was rescinded after the disclosure section spoke with her. The disclosure section also advised her a corrected Late Fee Order would be issued for the 2015 Tier 3 annual pfd.
