Request that the board waive the $1,000 campaign finance late fee assessed against Beryl Billiot, a candidate for Governor in the October 24, 2015 election, whose 180-P report was filed 11 days late. |
|
In connection with her request that the Board waive the late fee assessed for the late filing of the report, Beryl Billiot states that at the time the report was due she was working out of state and did not have access to her account login or financial information. She intends to run for statewide office, but has not made a formal announcement of her candidacy because of the uncertainty of her business schedule. She states she has very few funds and has not raised money because of the uncertainty of her candidacy.
