RE:
Request that the board waive the $480 campaign finance late fee assessed against Sharon Ingram Marchman, a candidate for District Court Judge, 4th JDC, in the November 4, 2014 election, whose 2014 Supplemental report was filed 8 days late.
Facts:
In connection with her request that the Board waive the late fee assessed for the late filing of the report, states that her office experienced software problems with the program where her calendar and task list are maintained. Therefore, some calendar entries and task reminder entries were lost including the reminder to file her campaign finance reports.She also states that she had no activity for this report and the late fee exceeds the balance remaining in the account.
