Request that the Board waive the $480 campaign finance late fee assessed against William T. "Will" Kleinpeter, a candidate for City Judge, City Court, City of Port Allen, West Baton Rouge Parish in the November 4, 2014 Election, whose 30-P campaign finance disclosure report was filed 8 days late. |
|
In connection with his request that the Board waive the late fee assessed for the late filing of the report, William T. Kleinpeter states that he is not disputing that the report was filed late. However, with no campaign funds raised and no expenditure of funds, other than the qualifying fee and no prior violations, he feels the spirit of the law would be served by a reprimand or at least a reduction in the late fee assessment for this inadvertent 8 day late filing.
