RE:
Request that the Board waive the $600 campaign finance late fee assessed against Benny Douglas, a candidate for Sheriff of Caldwell Parish, in the October 22, 2011 election, whose EDE-P campaign finance disclosure report was filed 94 days late.
Facts:
In connection with his request for a waiver of the $600 late fee assessed for the late filing of an EDE-P campaign finance report, Benny Douglas, states that he misread the filing dates and believed that the 10-G campaign finance due on November 9, 2011, was the last report he was required to file for the October 22, 2011 election. Mr. Douglas is a district level candidate. This is his third campaign. He was an unsuccessful candidate.
