Waiver request submitted by Jerry Wayne Beatty, Concordia Parish Police Jury / District 4, Place A, regarding a $1500.00 late fee assessed for filing his amended 2018 Tier 3 annual pfd 66 days late. |
|
Jerry Beatty is requesting a waiver
for the late filing of his 2018 PFD Amendment. Mr. Beatty stated in the 12
years he has served as a Concordia Police Jury, he has never missed a filing.
Mr. Beatty stated that 15 months ago he lost everything (his family and car). He
now rides a bicycle to work and could no longer attend the board meeting or
participate in political activities within his community. This led to him
losing his seat and he has never been able to recover. Mr. Beatty stated he does
not know how he missed filing his 2018 Annual PFD; and he does not recall
receiving the NOD-FF letter, although he signed the Certified Mail Green Card.
Mr. Beatty stated he has been through so much in the past 15 months with losing
everything; he is simply trying to survive at this point. Mr. Beatty is asking
the Ethics Board to waive the fine because he does not have any funds (or
transportation) to pay the late fee penalty.
