Cohen Guidry received the 2022 amendment letter and 2023 delinquency letter in the same envelope on 8/23/2024. The next day, he immediately filed the 2022 PFD. Mr. Guidry assumed that one amended report would suffice. He started as Executive Director of Terrebonne Economic Director in late July 2022. Mr. Guidry had 30 years of private sector experience and was unfamiliar with the LBOE's requirements. He appreciates your consideration and assures you this will be his last infraction.
