| Untimely waiver request submitted by John Pourciau, a member of the Pointe Coupee Parish Police Jury, regarding a $1,500 late fee assessed for filing his 2009 Tier 3 annual pfd 309 days late; a $1,500 late fee assessed for filing his 2010 Tier 3 annual pfd 309 days late; a $1,500 late fee assessed for filing his 2010 Tier 3 candidate pfd 97 days late; and a $1,500 late fee assessed for filing his 2011 Tier 3 annual pfd 49 days late. |

Mr. Pourciau submitted an untimely waiver request in connection with his 2009 and 2010 annual pfds. The request was submitted six (6) days late.
It was also determined that Mr. Pourciau had two other outstanding late fees in connection with his 2011 annual and 2010 candidate pfds. Mr. Pouciau never requested waivers in connection with these late fees. Demand letters had been issued, but returned unclaimed.
Mr. Pourciau states that he has already paid an $800 fine and that the staff told him he was up to date on his filings. This fine must be related to late filings involving campaign finance. There is no record of a paid or even assessed $800 late fee associated with personal financial disclosure.
No other reasons were given for either the untimely waiver requests or for his untimely filings. In total, Mr. Pourciau owes $6,000. It appears that all other reports have been filed. The next report due is his 2013 by May 15, 2014.
