RE:
Request that the Board waive the $240 late fee assessed against Marvin Dearman, a candidate for Alderman for the City of West Monroe, in the March 24, 2012 election, whose EDE-P campaign finance disclosure report was filed 6 days late.
Facts:
In connection with his request for a waiver of the $240 late fee assessed for the late filing of an EDE-P campaign finance report, Marvin Dearman, states that he admits that he did not timely file his report. He maintains that he looked at the filing instructions, however, he misinterpreted them. He believed that he was not required to file a report, since he did not have any expenditures. Mr. Dearman is an any other level candidate. This is his first campaign. He was an unsuccessful candidate.
