RE:
Waiver request submitted by Sandra Wiggins Long, former member of the Northwest Louisiana Human Services District, regarding a $1500 late fee assessed for filing her amended 2016 Tier 2.1 annual pfd 1216 days late.
Facts:
Sandra Wiggins Long stated she submitted her annual disclosure on 11/2/2017 and had been in contact with the PFD Staff to resolve the missing 2016 Amendment. She was under the impression that her responsibility to the BOE had been fulfilled. She apologizes for not sending the amendment in timely. She asked for a waiver request at this time because she recently had a baby and both her father and father-in-law passed away.
