Request that the Board reconsider its decision to decline to waive the $2500 late fee assessed against Fa'Ron "Fee" K. Edward Richard, an unsuccessful candidate for Terrebonne Parish Council, District 1, in the March 25, 2023 election, for filing his amended 2022 Tier 2 candidate pfd 106 days late. |
|
Fa'Ron Richard is requesting a waiver of the assessed $2,500 late fee. There was a mishap with his paperwork for BOE. He submitted his disclosure, but he did not fill out Schedule F because he did not know his job was considered state income. Later, he attempted to faxed a new Schedule F, but he may have been given the wrong fax number. The statement was successfully submitted on 6/13/2023.
Reconsideration:
Mr. Richard is claiming financial hardship and has submitted additional information.
