RE:
Waiver request submitted by Tamara M. Crane, former member of the Commission for Women of Bossier City, regarding a $750 late fee assessed for filing her amended 2018 Tier 2.1 annual pfd 15 days late.
Facts:
Ms. Crane filed an initial waiver request on February 16, 2022; however, no reasons were included. She was requested to amend her waiver request, which was done on July 28, 2022. Ms. Crane states this late fee will create a financial hardship for herself and her disabled son. Since she only served a partial period during 2018, she states she was not aware she had to file a report in 2019 covering 2018.
