RE:
Request that the Board waive the $60 campaign finance late fee assessed against Edwin Rubin, a candidate for Judge, 15th Judicial District Court, Lafayette Parish in the November 4, 2014 Election, whose 30-P campaign finance disclosure report was filed 1 day late.
Facts:
In connection with his request that the Board waive the late fee assessed for the late filing of the reports, Edwin Rubin states that he faxed and mailed the campaign report on October 6, 2014 because he was accustomed to sending reports via fax and mail in the past. He was informed the next day that he is legally required to file his reports electronically. Upon receiving that information, he promptly filed the campaign report electronically the next day.

Mr. Rubin also submitted documentation showing that he and his wife have had medical issues this year.
