| An appearance in connection with a request that the Board waive the $280 campaign finance late fee assessed against G. "Butch" Bourgeois, a candidate for Alderman, Ward 3, City of Jeanerette, Iberia Parish in the October 19, 2013 election, whose EDE-P campaign finance disclosure report was filed 7 days late. |
|
In connection with his request that the Board waive the late fee assessed for the late filing of the report, Mr. Bourgeois states that he apologizes for not sending the EDE-P report on time. He says he assumed that since he did not spend any money on election day that he did not need to send in a blank sheet. This is his first time running for a political office, so he was very careful to have all his reports in on time.
