Waiver request submitted by Cynthia Marie Stafford, former member of the Ascension - St. James Airport and Transportation Authority, regarding a $1500 late fee assessed for filing her 2023 Tier 2.1 annual pfd 137 days late. |

Cynthia Marie Stafford faxed the 2023 PFD on 10/28/2024, immediately after receiving the NOD. She received another notice on 3/25/2025 stating that it had not been received. Ms. Stafford sent proof of the submission to what she believes was an incorrect email address. She was removed from the Board in March 2025, and in 2024, she only attended two meetings, receiving $150 in total. Each time she received a notice from the BOE, her paperwork was immediately submitted. Ms. Stafford appreciates your consideration of waiving this late fee.
