Waiver request submitted by Vince Almond, Mayor / Edgefield / Red River Parish, regarding a $500 late fee assessed for filing his 2022 Tier 3 annual pfd 279 days late. |

Vince Almond submitted his disclosures on time but somehow missed filing his 2022 disclosure. Most years, he travels for work in May and usually waits until his taxes are filed before reporting. This is the only explanation he can think of for the why he overlooked submitting his disclosure. Mr. Almond would greatly appreciate it if this fees is waived or reduced because his salary as mayor is only $1,500. The $500 late fee would be extremely high compared to his annually salary.
