Samuel Joseph Stevenson moved and resigned as the Village of Bienville Alderman in 2021. His PFD was filed on time and the Village of Bienville was notified of his resignation. They should have handled the proper documentation of this matter. Mr. Stevenson had zero income to report for 2022 since he resigned in the 2021. He does not feel that he should be held liable for the assessed late fee.
Per 05/24/2024 email from the Secretary of State: Election Commission Office. there is not record of resignation on file for Samuel Joseph "Joe" Stevenson. he served until the end of his term on December 31, 2022. According to the Legislative Auditor's Report for 7/1/2020 to 6/30/2021, he earned $360. The Report for 7/1/2021 to 6/30/2022 showed he earned $330.
