Waiver request submitted by Dennis Paul Williams, St. Martinville City Council/District 3/St. Martin Parish (Pop. 6114), regarding a $1500 late fee assessed for filing his amended 2016 Tier 3 annual PFD 174 days late. |
|
|
Mr. Williams states that he failed to timely file because he was in the middle of a recall petition that had been filed against him prior to him taking office. He believes the parties behind the recall effort hindered his receipt of notices. He also states that that late fee will create a financial hardship.
