Request that the Board waive the $1,500 late fee assessed against John "Randy" R. Sexton, a candidate for Assessor of Iberville Parish, in the October 22, 2011 election, whose 40-G campaign finance disclosure report was filed 25 days late. |

In connection with his request for a waiver of the $1,500 late fee assessed for the late filing of a 40-G campaign finance report, John "Randy" R. Sexton, states that his mother began experiencing health complications shortly after undergoing surgery on October 4, 2011. He states that after several tests and scans, it was discovered that her intestine was severed during her surgery and she had developed a severe infection. He further states that his mother underwent several procedures over several weeks in an attempt to get the infection under control. There were signs of improvement, however, she passed away on January 3, 2012. He maintains that while being occupied with the well-being of his mother, he inadvertently overlooked the filing deadline for his report. Upon receiving notice from the Campaign Finance division, he immediately filed his report. Mr. Sexton is a district level candidate. This is his sixth campaign. He was a successful candidate.
