Request that the Board waive the $420 campaign finance late fee assessed against Matthew Raley, a candidate for St. Tammany Parish President in the October 22, 2011 election, whose EDE-P campaign finance disclosure report was filed 7 days late. |

In connection with his request for a waiver of the $420 late fee assessed for the late filing of the EDE-P campaign finance report, Matthew Raley, 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 EDE-P report. He apologizes for filing the report untimely, and if involved in any future elections, he believes that he will have a good grasp of the filing requirements. Mr. Raley is a district level candidate. He was an unsuccessful candidate.
