RE:
Request that the Board waive the $2,000 campaign finance late fees assessed against Donald Trahan, a candidate for State Representative/District 31, Lafayette Parish in the October 20, 2007 Election, whose 2014 Supplemental campaign finance disclosure report was filed 68 days late.
Facts:
In connection with his request that the Board waive the late fee assessed for the late filing of the report, Donald Trahan states that he left a message for Anya Perrilloux to call him on April 20, 2015, seven days prior to him filing his 2014 Supplemental report. He also stated that he believes the late fee is inaccurate and excessive because he had no contributions or expenditures.
