Waiver request submitted by Gregory "Killer" Galloway, Constable / Ward 2 / St. Tammany Parish, regarding a $400 late fee assessed for filing his 2020 Tier 2 annual pfd 4 days late. |

Mr. Galloway stated he did not realize he had not filed a 2020 disclosure statement. As soon as he learned of his delinquency, he submitted the disclosure. He stated the US Postal Service mail delivery has been very delayed since Covid due to the employee shortage. Mr. Galloway expressed this fine would create a financial hardship as he was impacted by the Covid-19 Pandemic and Hurricane Ida. He is on a Covid eviction restriction program/plan and any assistance on this matter from the Ethics Board would be greatly appreciated.
