RE:
Request that the Board reconsider waiving 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 Ms. Foster's request for reconsideration of waiver she states that a couple of weeks prior to election, she learned that she needed an AAA aneurysm repair. Since that time she has had pneumonia, lung and brain cancer treatments and she had to have another aneurysm repair last month.

She states that in addition, she has lost 60% of her hearing, so aides are required and her teeth require rather extensive repair due to chemo and radiation treatments. The cost of her medical requirements has affected her finances greatly.
