Waiver request submitted by Russell Comeaux, constable for Lafayette Parish, regarding a $800 late fee assessed for filing his 2011 Tier 3 annual pfd 16 days late. |
|
Mr. Comeaux apologizes for being late with his report. However, the imposition of the late fee would create a financial burden. Mr. Comeaux works two jobs to help his daughter-in-law raise his 3 grandchildren. Mr. Comeaux does not know how he could come up with the funds to pay this late fee.
