Waiver request submitted by VaRhonda Burrell, Constable, Morehouse Parish, regarding a $1500 late fee assessed for failing to file her 2017 Tier 3 annual pfd. |
|
VaRhonda Burrell is requesting a waiver for the following reasons:
Ms. Burrell stated the late fee notice was the first certified notification she received regarding her 2017 delinquency. Ms. Burrell stated each year she paid for her educational courses out of pocket and she has not received any income while being a Constable. She does not know why she has not received any form of payment while serving in this position. She believes this is a good cause for not filing the report and request that the late fee of $1500 be reduced, suspended or waived.
