Waiver request submitted by David Guillet, Natchitoches Area Convention & Visitors Bureau, regarding a $1250 late fee assessed for filing his amended 2019 Tier 2.1 annual pfd 25 days late. |
|
David Guillet is asking for a waiver for the following reasons:
He did not realize that his wife's employment as a special education teacher was considered a political subdivision. He has proudly served as an unpaid volunteer on the Natchitoches Convention and Visitor's Bureau since 2017, and has never filed late before. Mr. Guillet stated he is "dealing with other issues" and cannot afford to pay this fine. He asks the Ethics Board to consider granting him a one-time waiver.
