In connection with his request for a waiver of the $100 late fee assessed for the late filing of an EDE-P campaign finance report, David Blanchard, states that his report was filed untimely because he was out of town on All Saint's Day, a religious holiday, to visit the grave site of his late father-in-law whose birthday coincide with the feast day.
