Request that the Board waive the $420 late fee assessed against Paul Naquin, Jr., a candidate for St. Mary Parish President in the October 22, 2011 election, whose 30-P campaign finance disclosure report was filed 9 days late. |

In connection with her request for a waiver of the $360 late fee assessed for the late filing of a 30-P campaign finance report, Jysele C. Jones, on behalf of Paul Naquin, Jr., states that the candidate's wife timely filed a report on paper form; however, Mr. Naquin's wife was unaware of her husband's requirement to electronically file the report. Ms. Jones maintains that upon receipt of notice from the Campaign Finance division, the report was immediately filed. Mr. Naquin is district level candidate. This is his seventh election. He was an unsuccessful candidate.
