Request that the Board waive the $420 campaign finance late fee assessed against Clifford Thomas, a candidate for City Marshal, City Court, City of Monroe, Ouachita Parish in the November 4, 2014 Election, whose 10-P campaign finance disclosure report was filed 7 days late. |

In connection with his request that the Board waive the late fee assessed for the late filing of the report, Clifford Thomas states that he did not know that he was required to file the documents as a city wide candidate until another candidate told him. He spoke with someone in the Ethics office, filed the 10-P, and subsequently met the deadlines for all the other required forms.
