Waiver request submitted by Julie Lien, former Constable / Ward 10 / St. Tammany Parish, regarding a $850 late fee assessed for filing her 2019 Tier 3 annual pfd 17 days late. |
|
Julie Lien is requesting a waiver for the following reasons:
Ms. Lien stated she did not know she was required to file the disclosure after receiving a notice from the St. Tammany Parish Government in 2017 stating she was ineligible for Constable Compensation by both the parish and the state. She was under the impression that since she was no longer collecting an income, she was not required to continue to complete the annual disclosure. Ms. Lien apologizes for her failure to comply.
