Waiver request submitted by Bence Ann Nicholas, Campti Town Council / Natchitoches Parish, regarding a $75 late fee assessed for filing her 2023 Tier 3 annual pfd 3 days late. |
|
|
Bence Ann Nicholas has been a council member for the Town of Campti for about seven years. The Notice of Delinquency (NOD) arrived several days later than 8/14/2024, which caused a hindrance in the proper time needed to complete the disclosure and submit it by the due date. Ms. Nicholas would like to apologize for the delinquency and can assure you this was not an oversight. She is familiar with the process. Ms. Nicholas believes this is a valid justification for the untimely filing.
