Elizabeth Stelly is submitting a waiver on behalf of her husband, Frederic Stelly, Jr, who serves on the St. Martin Parish School Board. When Ms. Stelly received the notice, which was two weeks after the disclosure was due, she immediately filed. After battling colon cancer for the past few years, Mr. Stelly was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. They have been traveling back and forth to Houston for neurology appointments since June 2025 and still have a long road ahead of them. Ms. Stelly will be handling her husband's matters and would like to request that the fine be waived.
