RE:
Request that the Board waive the $120 campaign finance late fee assessed against Troy Broussard, a candidate for Judge, 1st Parish Court, Division B, Jefferson Parish in the November 4, 2014 Election, whose EDE-P campaign finance disclosure report was filed 2 days late.
Facts:
In connection with his request that the Board waive the late fee assessed for the late filing of the reports Matthew Person, Finance Chairman for Troy Broussard, states that the Leaders website was down when he attempted to file on Friday November 14, 2014. He attempted to call the office for help, but it was after 5pm. He successfully logged in on Sunday, November 16, 2014 and was able to submit. He requests waiver due to this technical difficulty.
