Waiver request submitted by Brian Hammons, Councilman / Bossier City / Bossier Parish, regarding a $2500 late fee assessed for filing his amended 2022 Tier 2 annual pfd 27 days late. |

|
Brian Hammons does not know why he did not comply after receiving the notice. He has always made it a priority to file on time. Mr. Hammons makes approximately $900 monthly as a Bossier City Councilman. Both he and his wife are self-employed and most of his salary goes towards their health care policies. Therefore, the $2,500 fine would be a considerable burden. Mr. Hammons would like to apologize for this mishap, which will never happen again.
