Untimely waiver request submitted by Darrell D. Sims, Madison Parish School Board / District 5, regarding a $1500 late fee assessed for filing his 2016 Tier 3 annual pfd 170 days late. |
|
Darrell D. Sims is requesting an untimely waiver for the following reasons:
Mr. Sims stated he was unaware he was assessed a late fee, as the assessment letter was delivered and signed by his next door neighbor, when it was served. Mr. Sims asks the Ethics Board to please consider waiving this fine, since he did not receive the LFO from his neighbor.
