RE:
Request that the Board waive the $80 campaign finance late fee assessed against G. Denise Dupree, a candidate for Council Member, City of Grambling, Lincoln Parish in the November 4, 2014 Election, whose 10-G campaign finance disclosure report was filed 2 days late.
Facts:
In connection with her request that the Board waive the late fee assessed for the late filing of the report, G. Denise Dupree states that, on filing day, she was unable to "break away" from a prior engagement to send her report within operating hours of her local City of Grambling post office because the City of Grambling's post office is a rural post office with little activity and very limited, non-weekend operating hours. As a result of the post office's limited, non-weekend operating hours, her report was not postmarked until the following workday.
