RE:
Request that the Board waive the $480 campaign finance late fee assessed against Peter Galvan, a candidate for Coroner of St. Tammany Parish in the October 22, 2011 election, whose 10-G campaign finance disclosure report was filed 8 days late.
Facts:
In connection with her request for a waiver of the $480 late fee assessed for the late filing of a 10-G campaign finance report, Kim R. Kelly, on behalf of the candidate, states that the 10-G report was untimely filed due to a family out of town emergency. She maintains that her mother was diagnosed with a malignant melanoma and set for emergency surgery and recovery during the time that the report was due. Mr. Galvan is a district level candidate. This is his fourth campaign. He was a successful candidate.
