RE:
Request that the Board waive the $360 campaign finance late fee assessed against Willie Clyde Curry, a candidate for Selectman, District One, Town of Homer, Claiborne Parish, in the November 4, 2014 Election, whose 10-P campaign finance disclosure report was filed 9 days late.
Facts:
In connection with his request that the Board waive the late fee assessed for the late filing of the reports, Willie Clyde Curry states that his failure to file was due to ignorance and misunderstanding, rather than negligence. He had no contributions until he received a donation of $300. Initially, until speaking with Ms. Vermaelen in campaign finance, he was under the impression that he only had to file when he received donations of higher amounts and did not need to file.
