RE:
Waiver request submitted by Sammy Chisolm, Constable / District 2 / LaSalle Parish, regarding a $500 late fee assessed for filing his 2023 Tier 3 annual pfd 71 days late.
Facts:
Sammy Chisolm did not file the disclosure before the deadline because he was unaware it was due. He stated that he never received anything regarding the late fee. Mr. Chisolm never received any reminder emails but will check for them. His delayed filing was a mistake, so he would like to request a waiver of the assessed late fee.
