RE:
Request that the Board waive the $540 campaign finance late fee assessed against Ricky L. Moses, a candidate for Sheriff of Beauregard Parish, District 10 in the October 20, 2007 election, whose Supplemental campaign finance disclosure report was filed 9 days late.
Facts:
In connection with his request for a waiver of the $540 late fee assessed for the late filing of a Supplemental campaign finance report, Ricky L. Moses states that he believed that he had satisfied all reporting requirements whenever he filed his Supplemental report for the October 22, 2011 election. He maintains that he was not aware he was required to report campaign debt from the October 20, 2007 election. He further states that he believed that since he used the same campaign account and was seeking the same office, he only needed to file one report. A supplemental report was filed immediately after being notified that his report was delinquent. Mr. Moses is a district level candidate. The 2007 election was his first campaign. He was a successful candidate.
