Waiver request submitted by Patsy Roberson, Council Member / District 4 / Town of Arcadia / Bienville Parish, regarding a $500 late fee assessed for failing to file her amended 2022 Tier 3 annual pfd. |
|
|
Patsy Roberson originally filed the disclosure on time but learned the form was outdated. She received the updated form via mail but travels often and did not submit it on time due to computer issues. Ms. Roberson cannot afford the $500 late fee, so she would like to request a waiver of the assessed late fee.
