Request that the Board waive the $320 campaign finance late fee assessed against Marvin Blake, Jr., a candidate for Mayor of the City of Natchitoches, in the March 24, 2012 election, whose EDE-P campaign finance disclosure report was filed 8 days late. |

In connection with his request for a waiver of the $320 late fee assessed for the late filing of an EDE-P campaign finance report, Marvin Blake, Jr., states that his report was filed untimely, because he failed to place the correct postage on his envelope. Once the report was returned in the mail, he placed it in another envelope, placed enough postage on it, and resent it. Mr. Blake apologizes for the late filing of his report and ask that the Board waive his late fee. Mr. Blake is an any other level candidate. This is his fourth campaign. He was an unsuccessful candidate.
