Request that the Board waive the $600 and $420 campaign finance late fees assessed against Edward Butler, a candidate for City Marshal, City Court, City of Alexandria, Rapides Parish in the November 4, 2014 Election, whose 30-P campaign finance disclosure report was filed 10 days late, and 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 reports, Dennis Sapp, campaign manager states that the campaign officials did not realize campaign reports were required to be filed on the Leaders website. The 30-P report was mailed the day before the deadline via certified mail and the campaign was waiting to receive notification of delivery and had no idea they were incurring fines. He also stated that the 10-P report was created and saved before the due date, but the submit button was not pressed.
