Waiver request submitted by Sarintha Buras Stricklin, former member of the Metropolitan Human Service District, regarding a $1000 late fee assessed for filing her amended 2022 Tier 2.1 annual pfd 20 days late. |

|
Sarintha Buras Stricklin volunteered on the Metropolitan Human Services District (MHSD) Board as the representative for Plaquemine Parish after the seat had been vacant for years. She completed two full terms and further volunteered to serve in leadership roles on various committees. After the term expired, she remained in service to help bridge the gap until a replacement could be identified. At that time, her husband was diagnosed with cancer and underwent extensive treatment, multiple surgeries, radiation, and chemotherapy. This prompted her to step down and focus on her family. The $1,000 penalty presents a financial burden, partially due to ongoing medical expenses related to her husband's care. Ms. Stricklin values the mission of the MHSD Board.
