RE:
Request that the Board waive the $320 campaign finance late fee assessed against Polly Pickney, a candidate for Alderman, Town of Port Barre in the November 4, 2014 Election, whose 10-P campaign finance disclosure report was filed 8 days late.
Facts:
In connection with her request that the Board waive the late fee assessed for the late filing of the reports, Polly Pickney states that this is her first late filing, though she has run for other offices. She apologizes for being late and unprofessional, but she was sick with a virus and her husband had a staph infection and suffered complications during the time the report was due.
