Waiver request submitted by John Faust, St. Tammany Levee, Drainage, and Conservation District, regarding a $150 late fee assessed for filing his amended 2023 Tier 2.1 annual pfd 3 days late. |
|
|
John Faust is a St. Tammany Levee, Drainage, and Conservation District Commissioner. The report was initially filed on 3/7/2024. Mr. Faust is a heart and kidney transplant patient, which requires him to travel to Houston for a week to have an annual exam. He arrived back home around 9/30/2024 and received the NOD. He did not understand why he received the amendment notice, because he did not have earnings as described in the employment description. He was not an employee of the state, employed by a political subdivision, or an employee of Gaming interest. A BOE representative clarified that the amendment was required due to his employment with the New Orleans Police Department, and the disclosure was immediately filed.
