Waiver request submitted by Juanita G. Woods, Monroe City Council / Distrist 3 / Ouachita Parish, regarding a $2500 late fee assessed for filing her amended 2022 Tier 2 annual pfd 163 days late. |
|
|
Due to the repeated hospitalization of her mother and the numerous out-of-state visits to the MD Anderson Cancer Center, Juanita G. Woods was in a constant state of immense emotional strain, and her focus was not as it had been. The severe nature of her mother's health currently necessitates her presence at the hospital, doctor's visits, and the allocation of significant time towards her care and support. Ms. Woods has been unable to focus on her business affairs with the same level of commitment. She understands the importance of complying, however, she would like to ask that you consider her exceptional circumstances and allow her grace for a waiver.
