Request that the Board waive the $1,250 and reassessed $1,100 campaign finance late fees assessed against Louisiana Home Builders Association PAC, a political action committee, whose 10-G campaign finance report was filed 411 days late. |

In connection with her request for a waiver of the $1,250 late fee assessed for the late filing of a 10-G report, Jeannie A. Dodd, on behalf of the committee states that the committee issued a campaign contribution check to Rep. Jonathan Perry on February 1, 2010 for the amount of $1,000. Ms. Dodd states that Rep. Perry never received the check and the check has not cleared the bank. Ms. Dodd further states that a check for $250 was issued to Rep. Perry on February 4, 2010. At that time Rep. Perry had not announced his candidacy for the Louisiana Senate election held on February 19, 2011. Ms. Dodd maintains that both checks were included in the committee's Annual report filed on February 15, 2011.
