Angela McDaniel Smith became an alderman for the Village of Sikes, LA, three years ago. This is her first time serving as an elected official. She received the request for amendment and submitted it to the previous clerk. Unfortunately, the new clerk is unable to locate the folder pertaining to the proof of submission. Ms. Smith did not realize she needed to report her retirement benefits and would like to apologize for omitting her pay. She takes full responsibility for not double-checking to make sure the amended form was submitted. The new clerk understands the requirements and will help Ms. Smith in the future. Please waive the assessed late fee.
