Waiver request submitted by Lasonya Pearson, Montgomery Town Council - Grant Parish, regarding a $1,500 late fee assessed for filing her amended 2014 Tier 3 annual pfd 91 days late. |
|
Ms. Pearson stated that she thought she had completed the disclosure statement correctly when it was initially filed in October 2015. She was not aware of having to disclose employment, nor did she realize the parish library was a political subdivision of the State.
Ms. Pearson also provides documentation to show her failing health condition, i.e., Multiple Sclerosis and Fibromyalgia. She said that the imposition of the late fee would cause financial hardship.
