Waiver request submitted by Andy Galliano, former member of the Grand Isle Port Commission, regarding a $1500 late fee assessed for filing his 2015 Tier 2.1 annual PFD 195 days late. |

Mr. Galliano stated that he served on the commission without compensation. He further stated that he only received reimbursement for actual expenses and does not take into account the out of pocket expenses and business loss due to his inability to bid on projects with the commission because of his service on the commission.
Mr. Galliano stated that he began with health issues in 2015 and had to retire from his job; resign from the commission; and relocate to an area closer to a hospital. He also stated that he was hospitalized six times during calendar year 2016 and his medical bills were over $518,000.
Correspondence was sent to Mr. Galliano on this date requesting that he submit documentation to support his claim.
