Waiver request submitted by DeJae A Broomfield, Council Member / District 1 / Lafourche, regarding a $2500 late fee assessed for filing his amended 2023 Tier 2 annual pfd 107 days late. |
|
|
In 2024, DeJae A. Broomfield was new to public office and required reporting obligations. Although there was confusion, after receiving notice, he filed the 2023 PFD before the deadline. So, when he received the NOD-amend, he assumed it was sent in error. Subsequently, he received the LFO and spoke with a BOE representative who explained that although the PFD was submitted on time, it had errors. Moving forward, Mr. Broomfield is committed to fully educating himself on all ethical and reporting obligations and ensuring complete compliance.
