Waiver request submitted by Charles L. Wilson, Sr., Constable/8th Justice Court/Jefferson Parish, regarding a $400 late fee assessed for filing his amended 2018 Tier 2 Annual PFD 4 days late. |
|
Charles Wilson is requesting a waiver for failing to file his 2018 Amendment timely for the following reasons:
Mr. Wilson stated that during his 25 years in office he consistently has taken pride in adhering to the policies and rules of his position, including timely filing his disclosures. He did not realize that there was a deadline to submit his amendment. Mr. Wilson stated the Amendment Notice was received while he was ill. He tested positive for Covid-19 and the lingering effects took a toll on his daily life. He returned the amendment as soon as he could. Due to an Eviction Moratorium, his office has been losing money, thus affecting his income. He humbly asks the Ethics Board to consider waiving his late fee.
