RE:
Reconsideration of a request that the Board waive the $780 late fee assessed against David Rogoz, a candidate for Assessor of Tangipahoa Parish in the October 22, 2011 election, whose 30-P campaign finance disclosure report was filed 13 days late.
Facts:
In connection with his request for a reconsideration of waiver of the $780 late fee assessed for the late filing of a 30-P campaign finance report, David Rogoz maintains that he timely submitted his report. In addition, Mr. Rogoz has provided a fax log from Midtown Auto Title, the location from which he claims his 30-P report was faxed. A research of the fax number by the Ethics IT division revealed that a 30-P report was not received on September 21, 2011 from the number shown on the fax log provided by Mr. Rogoz. Staff placed a call to Mr. Rogoz on March 22, 2012, to find out what fax number he used to fax his 30-P report. Mr. Rogoz was unavailable and a message was left. Mr. Rogoz is a district level candidate. This is his second election. He was an unsuccessful candidate.
