In connection with his request that the Board waive the late fee assessed for the late filing of the report, Erick St. Amant states that he is 75 years old and not very good with computers. He thought he had submitted everything he was supposed to submit timely. He called the Ethics Board on numerous occasions to get help from the campaign staff.
