Request that the Board waive the $1,000, $1,000, and $1,000 campaign finance late fees assessed against Ivo "Trey" Roberts, a candidate for Governor, in the October 22, 2011 election, whose 30-P, 10-P, and 10-G campaign finance disclosure reports were filed 32, 13, and 21 days late. |

In connection with his request for a waiver of the $1,000, $1,000, and $1,000 late fees assessed for the late filings of a 30-P, 10-P, and 10-G campaign finance report, Ivo "Trey" Roberts, states that he is a first time candidate, who was unfamiliar with the filing requirements for filing his reports. He further states that around the time his first report was due, his campaign manager began experiencing serious family health challenges. He maintains that the assessed late fees are more than what was raised during his campaign. The candidate has provided medical documentation to support his claim. Mr. Roberts is a major level candidate.
