Request that the Board waive the $540 campaign finance late fee assessed against Michael Barbee, a candidate for City Marshal, City Court, City of Plaquemine, in the November 4, 2014 Election, whose 30-P campaign finance disclosure report was filed 9 days late. |
|
In connection with his request that the Board waive the late fee assessed for the late filing of the reports, Michael Barbee states that the certified letter sent by the ethics board was sent to this former address which has not been his address for two years and is not the address with which he qualified for the election at issue. The home at the address the BOE mailed to is for sale, therefore mail is only checked there periodically; he only found out the letter was there after seeing the postmaster at lunch one day who informed him he had a certified letter waiting for him.
