Request that the Board waive the $500, $200, $160, and $80 campaign finance late fees assessed against James "Jim" Norred, Jr., a candidate for Livingston Parish Council in the October 22, 2011 election, whose four Special campaign finance disclosure reports were filed 16, 5, 4, and 2 days late. |

In connection with his request for a waiver of the $500, $200, $160, and $80 late fees assessed for the late filings of four (4) Special campaign finance reports, James "Jim" Norred, Jr., states that he is a first time candidate, and his wife completed and filed his reports for him. It is his position that she did not understand the filing requirements for the Special reports, and by the time she became aware of the requirement to file the reports, she immediately filed them. He further states that having to pay the late fees totaling $940 would be a hardship on their budget. Mr. Norred is an any other level candidate. He was a successful candidate.
