RE:
Request that the Board waive the $420 campaign finance late fee assessed against Lala Brittain Sylvester, a candidate for District Judge, 10th JDC, Natchitoches Parish in the November 4, 2014 Election, whose 30-P campaign finance disclosure report was filed 7 days late.
Facts:
In connection with her request that the Board waive the late fee assessed for the late filing of the reports, Lala Brittain Sylvester states that her report preparer was out the week prior to the deadline with some very serious stomach issues and did not return until a few days after the deadline and only to prepare the report. After that, she was hospitalized for this same thing and recently got out of the hospital and was allowed to return to work on November 4, 2014.
