Patrick Trae O'Pry, report preparer, for Keith Anthony Baudin requests a waiver and states the following:
He got online and completed the Supplemental Annual Finance Report for Keith Baudin on February 15th. Keith received a delinquency notice on February 23th stating that he hadn't flied his annual report. After communication with a representative from the Louisiana Ethics Board, it was discovered that the report had been prepared, however it hadn't been submitted. The report was submitted on February 23, 2022. Please note, there was only transaction for the entire year of $80 which was a contribution by Keith. He requests the board waive the late filing penalties being that this was accidentally done and he, as well as Keith, intended to fully abide by the filing requirements.
