Waiver request submitted by Kermit Brown, St. Helena Parish Constable, regarding a $1,500 late fee assessed for filing his 2010 Tier 3 annual pfd 305 days late. |
|
Mr. Brown is requesting a waiver as he was newly elected due to the death of the former constable and was unfamiliar with the filing requirements. He believes he may have filed the wrong report with the wrong calendar year which attributed to his being late. He states he has now completed training and knows how to go online to get copies of the forms to file so they do not have to be mailed to him. Further, he will mail by certified mail in the future to ensure receipt.
