RE:
Request that the Board waive the $360 campaign finance late fee assessed against Travis J. Turner, a candidate for Ascension Parish Council, District 3, in the October 22, 2011 election, whose 10-G campaign finance disclosure report was filed 9 days late.
Facts:
In connection with his request for a waiver of the $360 late fee assessed for the late filing of a 10-G campaign finance report, Travis J. Turner, states that he is a first time candidate who won the seat for the Ascension Parish Council, District 3 position in the general election.
