RE:
Appearance in connection with a request that the Board waive the $240 campaign finance late fee assessed against Brandon T. Mellieon, a candidate for Iberville Parish Council, District 7 in the October 22, 2011 election, whose EDE-P campaign finance disclosure report was filed 6 days late.
Facts:
The candidate states in his correspondence of February 7, 2012, that it is his desire to appeal the $240 late fee assessment. This matter was forwarded to the EAB for an appeal. However, while speaking with the candidate during a scheduled telephone conference with the EAB, the candidate expressed that he meant to request a waiver of his $240 late fee assessment. The candidate will address the Board at the meeting regarding his request for a waiver. Mr. Mellieon is an any other level candidate. This is his first campaign. He was an unsuccessful candidate.
