Waiver request submitted by Roger Lynn Corcoran, candidate for Central Chief of Police (Pop. 29,565) / East Baton Rouge Parish in the November 8, 2022 election, regarding a $200 late fee assessed for filing his amended 2021 Tier 2 candidate pfd 2 days late. |

Roger Lynn Corcoran states he has been away from home since 4/16/2023 because his mother was in hospice care at Our Lady of the Lake and then moved to Clarify Hospice of Baton Rouge. Sadly, she passed away on 5/3/2023. Throughout this time, Mr. Corcoran stayed by his mother's side for 24 hours a day, except for 3 nights. He was notified by a BOE representative that he had forgotten to sign his disclosure, which was unintentional. Despite not knowing why the disclosures were received two days late (as they are usually submitted by his CPA), he received a notice. He submitted the amended PFD on time. Mr. Corcoran would like to apologize for his lateness and ask that you waive his late fee.
