RE:
In connection with a request that the Board consider to waive the $200 campaign finance late fees assessed against LA Association of Conservation Districts, whose October 2013 Monthly campaign finance disclosure report was filed 1 day late.
Facts:
In connection with his request that the Board reconsider to waive the late fee assessed for the late filing of the report, Reggie Skains states that due to the government shutdown that occurred on October 1, 2013, his office was unable to process any information or complete required reports. He also states that his office has also undergone personnel changes which also hindered reports being filed in a timely manner.
