RE:
Request that the Board waive the $1,680, $480, and $360 campaign finance late fees assessed against Weber Lee Deshotels, Jr., a candidate for Evangeline Parish Clerk of Court, in the October 22, 2011 election, whose 30-P, 10-P, and EDE-P campaign finance disclosure reports were filed 28, 8, and 6 days late.
Facts:
In connection with his request for a waiver of the $1,680, $480, and $360 late fees assessed for the late filings of the 30-P, 10-P, and EDE-P campaign finance reports, Weber Lee Deshotels, Jr. states that he cannot afford to pay the $2,520 in late fees. He has been on medical leave since November of 2008 due to a fall he sustained when he fell out of his wheelchair. He is a paraplegic and has had diabetes since 1995. He asks that the Board try to help him if possible. Mr. Deshotels is a district level candidate. This is his fourth campaign.
