RE:
Waiver request submitted by John Edwards "Johnnie" Jorden, Bossier Parish Police Jury, regarding a $2500 late fee assessed for filing his amended 2020 Tier 2 annual pfd 350 days late.
Facts:
John Jorden faxed over his report, but it was not received. He spoke with a BOE representative who was supposed to send him the needed paperwork. He never received it until the week of February 27, 2023, after speaking to someone at the BOE. He would like to ask that the fee be waived since he is unable to afford it to pay it.
