Request that the Board waive the $1,000 campaign finance late fee assessed against Rudy Gorrell, a candidate for Judge, Criminal District Court, Section D, Parish of New Orleans in the November 4, 2014 Election, whose 30-P campaign finance disclosure report was filed 16 days late. |
|
In connection with his request that the Board waive the late fee assessed for the late filing of the reports, Rudy Gorrell asserts that he tried to contact Mr. Slava in the BOE office, was not able to reach him so instead faxed and mailed the document on September 24, 2014. He contacted the BOE office again after receiving the delinquency letter, was able to speak with Mr. Slava, and was told that he had received incorrect log-in information. He requests a waiver because he would have timely online filed were it not for the incorrect log-in information.
