Waiver request submitted by Laine Paul Landry, Sr., former Chief of Police / Grand Isle / Jefferson Parish, regarding a $500 late fee assessed for filing his 2020 Tier 3 annual pfd 1194 days late. |
|
|
Laine Paul Landry, Sr. states that in October 2020, Hurricane Zeta caused damage to his home, business, and the Grand Isle community. While recovering, Hurricane Ida destroyed his home and business in 2021. Mr. Landry lived with a friend until he purchased a home in 2022. They experienced mail delivery disruptions, which caused delays in receiving correspondence. Mr. Landry worked seven days a week, aiding in hurricane recovery. Due to these circumstances, he entrusted his assistant to submit his disclosures, but she no longer works for him. Additionally, COVID brought more administrative delays. Mr. Landry has paid thousands of dollars in late fees, which reflects his effort to make things right, while facing financial and personal hardship. Please consider waiving, reducing, or suspending this late fee.
