RE:
Request that the Board waive the two $2,000 campaign finance late fees totaling $4,000 assessed against John A. Navy, a successful candidate for Council Member, District 1, Terrebonne Parish, in the October 22, 2011, and a successful candidate for Council Member, District 1, Terrebonne Parish in the October 12, 2019 election, whose 2021 supplemental campaign finance disclosure reports for each of the 2 campaigns were filed 41 days late.
Facts:
John A. Navy requests a waiver and states the following:

This was a mistake on his part for not filing within the proper period. He was doing repairs to his home due to Hurricane Ida and mail was problematic after the storm. It is totally his fault for not filing his report. Also, he hopes the Board takes into consideration his unfortunate conditions.
