RE:
Request that the Board waive the $1,500 in campaign finance late fees assessed against Allen Ebarb, a candidate for School Board Member, District 6, Sabine Parish in the November 4, 2014 Election, whose 30-P campaign finance disclosure report was filed 35 days late and 10-P report was filed 14 days late.
Facts:
In connection with his request that the Board waive the late fee assessed for the late filing of the report, Allen Ebarb states that due to him becoming his mother's primary caregiver, he was unable to attend the Campaign Financial Report meetings because the meetings were too far from his residence. His mother suffered several strokes and requires 24 hour care. Mr. Ebarb will be faxing medical records concerning his mother to our office.
