Request that the Board waive the $360 campaign finance late fee assessed against Larry M. LaBorde, a candidate for Sheriff of Ouachita Parish, in the October 22, 2011 election, whose EDE-P campaign finance disclosure report was filed 6 days late. |

In connection with his request for a waiver of the $360 late fee assessed for the late filing of an EDE-P campaign finance report, Larry M. LaBorde, states that his campaign manager contacted the Campaign Finance division to discuss filing requirements regarding a 10-G campaign finance report. At that time, his manager was told that the EDE-P report was late. Mr. LaBorde further states that it was a misinterpretation of the law on his part, believing that it was not necessary to file a report if he had no expenditures. Mr. LaBorde further states that his campaign was unsuccessful and many of the expenditures he incurred, were from his personal monies. He further states that all funds from his campaign are depleted and payment of the late fee would be at his personal expense. Mr. LaBorde is a district level candidate. This is his first campaign.
