RE:
Request that the board waive the $420 campaign finance late fee assessed against Scott Leehy, a candidate for District Court Judge, 4th JDC, in the September 30, 2006 election, whose 2014 Supplemental report was filed 7 days late.
Facts:
In connection with his request that the Board waive the late fee assessed for the late filing of the report, Scott Leehy states that he mistakenly filed one supplemental report for both the September 30, 2006 and November 4, 2014 elections.He did not realize his error until he received a letter explaining that he was also required to file a supplemental report for the September 30, 2006 election. He immediately amended the first report and filed a supplemental report or the September 30, 2006 election.
