Waiver request submitted by Myra N. Richardson, former member of the Baton Rouge North Economic Development District, regarding a $1500 late fee assessed for filing her 2022 Tier 2.1 annual pfd 271 days late. |
|
John M. Collins is submitting a waiver on behalf of Myra Richardson. Ms. Richardson joined the North Economic Development (NEDD) Board on 12/8/2020. In 2023, she was rotated out before completing the 4-year tenure due to legislative changes affecting board member terms, as well as the absence of a chairman. For this reason, Ms. Richardson believes the assessed fine should be reconsidered. She has paid off the previous fine, demonstrating her willingness to comply. Ms. Richardson would also like to make an appearance.
