| Request that the Board waive the $280 campaign finance late fee assessed against Thomas H. "Tom" McVea, a candidate for Parish President, West Feliciana Parish in the October 19, 2013 election, whose 10-P campaign finance disclosure report was filed 7 days late. |

In connection with his request that the Board waive the late fee assessed for the late filing of the report, Thomas McVea states that this was the first time his wife, Toni, completed the forms with the program. He states that his report preparer thought she had completed submitting the form, but did not realize the submission had not gone through until they received the notice of delinquency. The error was made because the report was not submitted correctly into the system, not because it was not timely completed. He states that his report preparer now knows how to submit the forms so it will not happen in the future.
