RE:
Request that the Board waive the $300 campaign finance late fee assessed against Randall M. "Randy" Deshotel, a candidate for Clerk of Court for Evangeline Parish, in the October 22, 2011 election, whose 10-P campaign finance disclosure report was filed 5 days late.
Facts:
In connection with his request for a waiver of the $300 late fee assessed for the late filing of a 10-P campaign finance report, Randall M. "Randy" Deshotel states that his report was filed untimely due to his forgetfulness and he simply forgot to file the report on or before the date it was due. Upon receipt of notice from the Campaign Finance division, the report was immediately filed. Mr. Deshotel is a district level candidate. This is his first campaign. He was a successful candidate.
