RE:
Request that the Board waive the $1,680 in campaign finance late fees assessed against Robert Amacker, a candidate for Mayor, Town of Lake Providence, East Carroll Parish in the November 4, 2014 Election, whose EDE-G campaign finance disclosure report was filed 76 days late, 10-G campaign finance disclosure report was 2 days late, and 40-G campaign finance disclosure report was 15 days late.
Facts:
In connection with his request that the Board waive the late fee assessed for the late filing of the reports, Robert Amacker states that his campaign finance chairman's husband was diagnosed with cancer last fall. The chairman and her husband were in Houston for three months during the campaign, which was during the time of the reporting deadlines for the reports in question. Mr. Amacker further provides that all required and due reports have been filed and he would appreciate any consideration pursuant to his waiver request.
