Waiver request submitted by Michael W. Stockwell, Constable / Ward 2 / Evangeline Parish, regarding a $500 late fee assessed for filing his 2020 Tier 3 annual pfd 219 days late. |

Mr. Stockwell appears frustrated stating he has timely mailed his reports and he's now sending by certified mail. He alleges that he sent his report by certified mail and included the green card showing delivery on 1/26/2021. Staff Notes: According to comments of conversations with Mr. Stockwell, it appears some frustration arises from his confusion with his requirement to also file a separate financial disclosure statement with the Legislative Auditor's office. Further, the report included in the mailing received on 1/26/2021 included his 2019 Tier 3 PFD, not his 2020 Tier 3 PFD.
