Waiver request submitted by Esco Leroy Owens, Jr., Constable/Ward 9, Justice of the Peace/Livingston, regarding a $2500 late fee assessed for filing his amended 2016 Tier 2 annual pfd 257 days late. |
|
Mr. Owens has had multiple issues with his filings. He came to our offices and worked with our staff to resolve the amendments that were necessary and to complete the filings that were missing. He states in his waiver request that his wife was diagnosed with cancer and is undergoing treatment. He is unable to afford the late fee and request a full waiver of the fine.
