Waiver request submitted by Theodore McCray, Jr., former member of the St. Helena Parish Police Jury / District 3 / St. Helena Parish, regarding a $1500 late fee assessed for filing his 2019 Tier 3 annual pfd 439 days late. |
|
|
Mr. McCray is asking for a waiver, because he states that he incorrectly thought that he was no longer required to fill out the form because he was not a police juror at that time. His last day as a police juror was in December 2019. If he did receive notice from us, he states that he probably assumed it was sent in error. He states that he cannot afford to pay the late fee.
