RE:
Waiver request submitted by Jack P. McCain Jr., with the Natchitoches Parish Communications District, regarding a $250 late fee assessed for filing his 2016 Tier 2.1 annual PFD 5 days late.
Facts:
Attorney Ronald Corkern (on behalf of McCain) stated that McCain has served on the District board for over 20 years and has not received any remuneration for his services. He further stated that McCain provides leadership and guidance and is invaluable to the District Board.
