RE:
Request the Board waive the $600 campaign finance late fee assessed against John "Randy" R. Sexton, a candidate for Assessor in Iberville Parish, in the October 20, 2007 election, whose Supplemental campaign finance disclosure report was filed 10 days late.
Facts:
In connection with his request that the Board waive the late fee assessed for the late filing of the report, Joshua Langlois, CPA on behalf of John "Randy" Sexton states all of the financial data required to be reported in the Supplemental Campaign Finance Disclosure report for the October 20, 2007 election was filed on February 13, 2013 in report number LA-35128. They were not aware that they were required to file 2 separate reports. Upon notification from our office, that two supplemental reports were required, they contacted Gene Dawson in our IT Department for assistance with separating the data. The separate reports were filed on February 25, 2013. They now understand the requirement for the two separate reports and will work diligently to ensure that all reports are filed timely in the future.
