Waiver request submitted by Dennis Ray Scott, former member of the Calcasieu Parish Police Jury / District 6, regarding a $100 late fee assessed for filing his 2020 Tier 2 annual pfd 1 days late. |
|
|
Mr. Scott states that he is asking for a waiver for the $100 late fee. He states that his accountant just completed his 2020 tax returns on March 5, 2022 due to major damage to her accounting office. He stated that he filed an extension for his taxes, but was unable to meet that deadline due to the ensuing hurricanes in August of 2020, followed by an ice storm and then major flooding. He stated that he did not make a practice of late filing without extensions while he held office and would like to maintain his clean filing record with the Ethics Board.
