Scott Perry, Jr. request a waiver and states the following:
He is having complications with his diabetes which has caused him to have several emergency rooms visits and a hospitalization. Also, due to the damage of Hurricane Laura to his home he has been displaced until the necessary repairs are made. This is what caused the delay. Based upon his previous filing history he has always reported promptly and on time.

18:1495.4D(1) If the final report of a candidate for an election, as required by Paragraph (5), (6), or (7)of Subsection B of this Section, shows a deficit or a surplus, the candidate and his treasurer, if any, shall file supplemental reports with the supervisory committee of all information required in R.S. 18:1495.5. Such reports shall be filed annually no later than February fifteenth and shall be complete through the preceding December thirty-first.
