Waiver request submitted by Mr. Robert Frank Palermo, Jefferson Davis Parish Tourist Commission and Town Council for Lake Arthur, regarding a $1500 late fee assessed for filing his amended 2016 Tier 2.1 annual pfd 107 days late. |
|
Mr. Palermo had numerous issues with his filings that were resolved through a telephone discussion with the Board staff. Mr. Palermo states that his difficulty in getting his filings correct is because he has suffered from mesothelioma since 2014 and has undergone both chemotherapy and radiation therapy treatments. His doctor has sent a letter confirming his treatments.
