| Request that the Board waive the $2,000 campaign finance late fee assessed against Samuel L. "Sam" Jenkins Jr., a candidate for Mayor, City of Shreveport, Caddo Parish, in a future election, whose 2013 Annual Report was filed 89 days late. |
|
In connection with his request that the Board waive the late fee assessed for the late filing of the report, Sam L. Jenkins Jr. states that the original hard copy report was timely filed by mail on February 18, 2014. However, the report reflected office sought as "councilman/Shreveport".
He was contacted by the Board of Ethics on April 22, 2014 when it was explained that his contributions were for "Mayor/Shreveport" in a future election. In addition, the office level now required electronic filing. The exact same information was filed electronically on May 18, 2014 to only clarify the office being sought. The electronic filing system did not allow him to select "amendment" at the time of filing the last report.
