RE:
Request that the Board waive the $400 campaign finance late fee assessed against Gwendolyn Iles-Foster, a candidate for Councilman, District 3, City of Alexandria, in the November 6, 2012 election, whose EDE-P campaign finance disclosure report was filed 206 days late.
Facts:
In connection with her request that the Board waive the late fee assessed for the late filing of the report, Gwendolyn Iles Foster states that it was an oversight and that she was unable to complete the campaign due to a AAA stint leakage which was repaired one week prior to the election. She also adds that she is now undergoing treatment for lung cancer. This is her second campaign.
