Waiver request submitted by Ralph William Johnson, New Orleans Sewerage and Water Board, regarding a $1500 late fee assessed for filing his 2022 Tier 2.1 annual pfd 139 days late. |
|
|
Ralph W. Johnson served on the City of New Orleans Sewerage and Water Board for several years, which ended in early 2022. He received a notification stating that since he was no longer on the Board, he would not have to file a 2022 disclosure. He was also told that the LBOE would be notified that his term had ended. Before his term ended, all his reports were filed on time. Therefore, for good cause, he would like to respectfully request a waiver of the $1,500 assessed late fee.
