Waiver request submitted by Jamie Lynn Harrison, former member of the Ridgecrest Board of Aldermen (Concordia Parish, population 694), regarding a $1500 late fee assessed for filing her 2015 Tier 3 annual pfd 35 days late. |
|
Ms. Harrison stated that she resigned from her position in April 2016 because of personal issues and financial hardships, e.g., going through a divorce which left her without income, vehicle repossessed, lost her home, and lost her job. She further stated that she and her son are just now getting back on their feet and the imposition of a late fee would cause a financial hardship on her.
