Waiver request submitted by Reginald Cedric Prealow, Jr., with the Coushatta Town Council, Red River Parish (Pop. 1,964), regarding a $1500 late fee assessed for filing his 2018 Tier 3 annual pfd 162 days late. |
|
Mr. Prealow is asking for a waiver request for the following reasons:
Mr. Prealow stated he put the wrong year on his disclosure and did not understand how to date the reports. He was getting "mixed up" on the filing years. However, after speaking with PFD Director, he now understands how to fill out the forms.
After speaking to Mr. Prealow, it was determined that he was getting CF reports confused with PFD statement filing.
