RE:
Request that the Board waive the $600 campaign finance late fee assessed against John R. Edwards, a candidate for City Marshal, Alexandria City Court, Rapides Parish in the November 4, 2014 Election, whose 10-P campaign finance disclosure report was filed 10 days late.
Facts:
In connection with his request that the Board waive the late fee assessed for the late filing of the reports, John S. Edwards states that he never intended to file late and that in fact he thought he had filed several days before the deadline. The campaign finance team walked him through the submittal process and he pressed submit, only to receive a late notice ten days later. He asks that the fee be waived due to his lack of knowledge about the Leaders program.
