RE:
Request that the Board waive the $2,000 campaign finance late fee assessed against Derrick Earles, a candidate for Judge, City Court, City of Bunkie, Avoyelles Parish in the November 4, 2014 Election, whose 30-P campaign finance disclosure report was filed 39 days late.
Facts:
In connection with his request that the Board waive the late fee assessed for the late filing of the report, Derrick Earles states that his committee didn't understand the proper procedure, and mailed and faxed the report on October 6, 2014, rather than filing the same through Leaders. The report was timely filed, but in the wrong manner.
