RE:
Request that the Board waive the $2,000 campaign finance late fee assessed against Peter Galvan, a candidate for Coroner, St. Tammany Parish in future elections, whose 2013 Annual campaign finance disclosure report was filed timely but inaccurately.
Facts:
In connection with his request that the Board waive the late fee assessed for the inaccurate filing of the report, Peter Galvan states that his report was filed timely and it was verified with his banking records and any reconciliation problem must have arose from a much earlier report, possibly 2011.
