Phillip Harris is submitting an answer on behalf of Constable Roger Dale Harris. On 11/29/23, Mr. Harris was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. He was in rapid decline that has been slowed but irreversible. He can no longer care for himself. Around 12/26/2023, his notice to vacate was submitted to all relevant agencies. Unfortunately, Mr. Harris did not retain financial documents or other records after tax season ended. They cannot obtain the necessary information to amended the 2021 or 2022 disclosures. This applies to the 2023 PFD as well.
