RE:
Waiver request submitted by Kim Miller, Constable / District 5 / Webster Parish, regarding a $500 late fee assessed for filing her amended 2023 Tier 3 annual pfd 363 days late.
Facts:
Kim Miller does not recall receiving the NOD. Since she does not have a computer, she depends on Marsha Toland, Justice of the Peace, to email or fax her statements once they are completed. They were unable to locate the documents on her computer. In 2024, Ms. Toland dealt with breast cancer surgeries and radiation treatments. Ms. Miller can't explain why she did not include the payments made to herself on the disclosure, but it has since been amended. She understands the importance of filing her disclosure on time and that it is her responsibility. Please waive the assessed late fee.
