Waiver request submitted by Alexis Robert "Alex" Edwards, Springhill Board of Aldermen / District 4 / Webster Parish, regarding a $500 late fee assessed for filing his 2022 Tier 3 annual pfd 476 days late. |
|
Alexis Robert Edwards became disabled in 2021 and has had a near physical collapse since. She has been diagnosed with diabetes and spondylosis in addition to the original disability in her feet, which affected her knees and hips, along with the ability to continue a 30-year career. In October of 2023, it was found that she had an abdominal aortic aneurysm that they have been observing since. Her physical issues caused depression, financial collapse, and the need to declare bankruptcy in 2024. Ms. Edwards apologizes for the late filing and asks for your leniency.
