Request that the Board waive the $280 campaign finance late fee assessed against John Arceneaux, a candidate for Constable/Justice of the Peace, Ward 9, St. Mary Parish in the November 4, 2014 Election, whose EDE-P campaign finance disclosure report was filed 7 days late.
Facts:
In connection with his request that the Board waive the late fees assessed for the late filing of the reports, John S. Arceneaux states that the late filing was an oversight, and he has followed the reporting rules concisely for the past six (6) years as reflected in his records and reports.
