RE:
Request the Board waive the $600 campaign finance late fee assessed against Eugene P. Foulcard, an unopposed candidate for Mayor, City of Franklin, St. Mary Parish in the March 26, 2022 election, whose 2023 Supplemental campaign finance disclosure report was 15 days late.
Facts:
Eugene P. Foulcard is submitting a waiver request and states the following:

Due to unforeseen circumstances, Mr. Eugene Foulcard filed his report late. After waiting for receipts to arrive and misplacing them, he needed to request them again. The wait caused a delay in filing his report but allowed him to file it correctly. This does not happen often, so he hopes to be granted a late fee waiver. Mr. Foulcard does not wish to appear before the Board, but he views this as a learning experience and assures all reports will be submitted on time.
