| Request that the Board waive the $180 campaign finance late fee assessed against Marion "Coach" Bonura, a candidate for Member of School Board, District 8, Jefferson Parish, in the November 4, 2014 election whose 30-P Report was filed 3 days late. |
|
In connection with his request that the Board waive the late fee assessed for the late filing of the report, Marion "Coach" Bonura states that he has never run for office and he is running his campaign on his own because of a lack of funds. He was under the impression that he did not have to file until the election was over. Furthermore, he states that he did not have much to report, as he qualified at the last moment. He was told a day later by another candidate that he was wrong and that he had to turn in a report no matter the amount.
