Waiver request submitted by Roger Dale Harris, Constable - Caddo Parish Ward 3, regarding a $1500 late fee assessed for filing his 2015 Tier 3 annual pfd 141 days late. |

Mr. Harris acknowledged receiving the notice of delinquency in December 2016; however, he stated that he misunderstood what he was being asked to file. He thought he was asked to file the report that is required by the Legislative Auditor's Office. ( He sent the report to that agency, certified mail, on or about December 28, 2016. A copy of the green card is attached.)
Mr. Harris further stated that he had several personal issues during calendar year 2015 and 2016, i.e., declining health of family members; the caring for and death of his mother, and the death of his sister.
