RE:
Request that the Board waive the $480.00 campaign finance late fee assessed against Donald B. Vallee, a successful candidate for State Representative, 105th Representative District in the October 14, 2023 election, whose 10-G campaign finance disclosure report was filed 8 days late.
Facts:
Donald B. Vallee requests a waiver and states the following: He did not spend any money on his campaign. He misunderstood and believed he didn't have to file a report if the campaign had no contributions or spending. It was his desire to run a campaign without expenses and contributions. Mr. Vallee would like to request a waiver of the assessed late fee, as he respects the law and Louisiana governmental ethics. He does not want this penalty to taint his campaign.
