Request that the Board waive the $480 campaign finance late fee assessed against Matthew Raley, a candidate for St. Tammany Parish President, in the October 22, 2011 election, whose 10-P campaign finance disclosure report was filed 8 days late. |

In connection with his request for a waiver of the $480 late fee assessed for the late filing of a 10-P campaign finance report, Matthew Riley states that he is a first time candidate who only used $600 to fund his campaign. He maintains that he misinterpreted the filing instructions. He believed that if he had no additional activity, he was not required to file a report until after the Election Day Expense report. Mr. Riley is a district level candidate. This is his first campaign. He was an unsuccessful candidate.
