Lisa Tillery is submitting a waiver for her father, retired Regional Transit Authority (RTA) Commissioner Walter Thomas Tillery. She relocated to Dallas, TX, on 8/10/2024 to care for Mr. Tillery. Mr. Tillery's wife passed away in March 2023, while his health has been on a rapid decline over the years with illnesses/diagnoses. Ms. Tillery's granddaughter signed for the FTF notice, and Ms. Tillery signed for the LFO. Mr. Tillery did not know about either notice, but he believed the RTA secretary had handled this matter. He recalls the RTA Board eliminating his and two other positions during COVID in 2021, and he retired on 4/26/2022. Ms. Tillery filed the PFD on 10/1/2024 and received the past due/final notice. She spoke to a representative who informed her that the disclosure was filed untimely. Mr. Tillery has always been responsible and would not have ignored this issue purposely. Please waive the assessed late fee.
