Waiver request submitted by Courtney Brown Bagneris, New Orleans Municipal Employees Retirement System, regarding a $1500 late fee assessed for failing to file her amended 2017 Tier 2.1 Annual PFD. |
|
Courtney Bagneris is requesting a waiver for not filing her filing of her 2017 Amended PFD. Ms.Bagneris stated she fully accepts responsibility for omitting her salary, in the thirteen years that she's served she has been very responsible and accurately submitted her disclosures.
She states that the omission of her salary was a serious mistake and she does not take it lightly. She has been a City of New Orleans employee for 31 years, and until her recent retirement, has been fully compliant with state and local laws. Her mistake was in no way an attempt to elude or deceive the BOE and was simply an oversight that she deeply regrets. Ms Bagneris respectfully requests the Ethics Board to waive her penalty as she completely regrets her mistake.
*Ms.Bagneris 2017 Amendment is still outstanding.
