RE:
Request that the board waive the $420 campaign finance late fee assessed against C. Sherburne Sentell, a candidate for Minden City Court Judge in the November 4, 2014 election, whose 2014 Supplemental report was filed 8 days late.
Facts:
In connection with his request that the Board waive the late fee assessed for the late filing of the report, Judge Sherb Sentell states that Angela Lawrence, his CPA who handles his reports was unable to timely file the 2014 supplemental report because her father was diagnosed with lung cancer at the end of January, 2014 and she had to assist him during his treatments of chemotherapy and radiation in February, 2014.
