Waiver request submitted by Leroy "Roy" Scott, Franklin Parish Police Jury / District 5 / Franklin, regarding a $500 late fee assessed for failing to file his 2020 Tier 3 annual pfd. |
|
|
Leroy "Roy" Scott received a late fee notice and would like to rectify any mistakes he has made. He says he has experienced financial hardship and emotional problems. His life was turned upside down after losing his son several years ago and he did the eulogy. His wife lost her sight. Sometime later, their home was repossessed. He quit his job to care for his wife, because he is trying to prevent her from being sent to a public home. Mr. Scott acknowledges that he did not handle his obligations, but after losing the election he had no knowledge of any issues. He taught school for 56 years and served on the police jury for 20 years. Please waive the assessed late fee.
