Waiver request submitted by Joseph Clint Brasseaux, Chief of Police of Chataignier (Evangeline Parish (Pop. 364)), regarding a $1500 late fee assessed for failing to file his 2016 Tier 3 annual PFD. |
|
Mr. Brasseaux claims that he did not believe he had to file a PFD because he did not meet the requirements to file. He also states that he did not sign for the letter when it was delivered on 3/27/18. Comments note that he was not required to file a PFD in 2015 because he was appointed after the filing date. The green card for the certified letter delivered on 3/27/18 was signed by "Daniel Brasseaux."
