In connection with her request for a waiver of the $1,440, $240, and $600 late fees assessed for the late filings of a 30-P, 10-P, and EDE-P campaign finance reports, Ruby Thibeaux, states that she became the Interim Marshal in April 2012 after the sudden death of the late Marshal Percy Manceaux, Jr. She then qualified to run for the Marshal position and was given a qualifying packet, however, it was the wrong packet. She was then given a correct packet and made arrangements to fax file the reports on paper form as they became due. Ms. Thibeaux maintains that she was unaware of the requirement to electronically file the reports. It was not until she received notice from the Campaign Finance division, that she became aware of the requirement to electronically file the reports. Ms. Thibeaux is a district level candidate. This is her first campaign.
