RE:
Waiver request submitted by Mr. Louis Joseph Schexnayder, Sr., Constable Ward 2/Terrebonne, regarding a $2500 late fee assessed for filing his 2018 Tier 2 annual pfd 87 days late.
Facts:
Mr. Schexnayder is requesting a waiver because he mailed his Tier 2 on June 8, 2019 but the envelope was returned to him by the Post Office with "Not for Us" handwritten on the envelope and with a Post Office Return label stating our Ethics PO Box as "No such Number - Unable to forward". He was not sure what to do next since his wife handled all of his paperwork and he is "trying to do his best" since her passing on February 27, 2019.
