RE:
Request that the Board waive a $120 campaign finance late fee assessed against Darren Roy, a candidate for District Judge, 34th Judicial District Court, Division D, St. Bernard Parish, in the November 6, 2018 election, whose Special (48 hour) campaign finance disclosure report was filed 2 days late.
Facts:


Dan Johnson, CPA, report preparer for Darren Roy request a waiver and states the following:

The Special 48-hour financial disclosure report was filed on October 31, 2018 reporting a campaign contribution check dated October 24, 2018 in the amount of $2,500 from May Ann Hand. This particular check had been written on October 24, but not received until October 30th, which was reported on the October 31st special report. Since 48-hour reports were filed, nearly, every day of that filing period, there was no need to exclude that particular check later than it should have been.
