RE:
Request the Board waive the $2,000 campaign finance late fee assessed against Forum for Equality PAC in the November 6, 2012 election, whose 10-G campaign finance disclosure report was filed 159 days late.
Facts:
In connection with his request that the Board waive the late fees assessed for the late filing of the report, Mr. Randy Evans, chairman for Forum for Equality PAC apologizes for the tardiness and that it did not come to his attention to file the report until he received a letter from us on April 15, 2013 letting him know that he was to file a Special Report for the November 1, 2012 expenditure for the November 6, 2012 election. The PAC has participated in 5 elections.
