Waiver request submitted by Robert Roussel, former member of the Port of South Louisiana Commission, regarding a $600 late fee assessed for filing his 2020 Tier 2.1 annual pfd 12 days late. |

Robert L. Roussel stated in October of 2019, he informed the senators and Port of South Louisiana Commission Director Paul Aucoin of his resignation. After his resignation, he did not attend any more board meetings. He was unaware he was still listed as an active board member until the board officially replaced him and filled his vacant seat. He filed the report but believe he should not be required to do so since he resigned in 2019. Due to recent family problems, he did not respond to the notices timely.
