RE:
Request that the board waive the $420 campaign finance late fee assessed against Asa Skinner, a candidate for District Attorney, 30th JDC in the October 4, 2008 election, whose 2014 Supplemental report was filed 8 days late.
Facts:
Asa Skinner filed an amendment to his 2013 supplemental report which forgives remaining outstanding debt and leaves no surplus balance. Mr. Skinner was previously fined $360 for the 2013 supplemental report and that fine has been paid.
