Waiver request submitted by Christopher M. "Chris" Davis, Denham Springs City Council (Pop. 10,215)/District 4/Livingston Parish, regarding a $2500 late fee assessed for filing his 2017 Tier 2 Annual PFD 211 days late. |
|
Chris M. Davis is requesting a waiver for the following reasons:
Mr. Davis stated it was always his intent to file his reports on time. However, he has a medical condition which causes him to forget things. This medical condition led to Mr. Davis' resignation as an elected official and has also resulted in him being out of work for nearly five months. Mr. Davis respectfully requests that the Ethics Board waive his $2500 late fee.
