Waiver request submitted by Delores Eileane Cameron LeBaron, with the Montgomery Town Council, Grant Parish (Pop. 730), regarding a $1500 late fee assessed for filing her amended 2016 Tier 3 annual PFD 90 days late. |
|
Mrs. LeBaron states that she was not fully aware of the filing requirements as this is her first term on the Council. She states that she did comply with the election reporting requirements but was not aware that she needed to file an additional disclosure statement. Mrs. LeBaron also states that her delay in responding to the NOD was because at the time it was issued, she was working two jobs and volunteering as a Sunday School teacher and church secretary. She was also caring for her mother-in-law who was suffering from dementia.
