RE:
Request that the Board waive the $480 campaign finance late fee assessed against Harold "Cookie" Billingsley, a candidate for Sheriff of Livingston Parish, in the October 22, 2011 election, whose 10-G campaign finance disclosure report was filed 8 days late.
Facts:
In connection with his request for a waiver of the $480 late fee assessed for the late filing of a 10-G campaign finance report, Harold "Cookie" Billingsley, states that his report was filed untimely because the report fell behind his desk. He also states that he is a first time candidate who was unfamiliar with the filing schedule, and believed that the Election Day Expenditure report was the last report he was required to file for the October 22, 2011 election. Mr. Billingsley is a district level candidate. He was an unsuccessful candidate.
