RE:
Request that the Board waive the $200 late fee assessed against Jonathan Barganier for his failure to timely file his December 2013 lobbyist expenditure report.
Facts:
Barganier is a registered lobbyist in several states and has consistently filed in Louisiana. Even though he set reminders for himself he did not timely file. He regrets registering in the State of Louisiana for the year 2013 since he spent very little time in Louisiana and had no expenditures. He does not intend to register as a lobbyist in Louisiana in 2014.
