Waiver request submitted by Norman Dale Craig, former member of the Bossier Parish Police Jury / District 4, regarding a $1000 late fee assessed for filing his 2019 Tier 2 annual pfd 10 days late. |

Norman Dale Craig's daughter is seeking this waiver on his behalf. Her dad is 81 years old and will never be able to serve in an elected position again due to both age and health. Supporting documentation was provided. He lost his bid for re-election due to his inability to campaign while undergoing treatment. He had significant cognitive decline during 2019, especially immediately after a treatment. He never realized that he failed to file any ending report. He never realized he received notice about his failure to file his 2019 PFD, in his mind it was filed and he was done since he was no longer in office. He never intentionally disregarded his responsibility or the notice, it just never registered until his daughter saw the late fee order.
