Request that the board waive the $440 campaign finance late fee assessed against Redell Comeaux Miller, a candidate for School Board, Lafayette Parish in the November 4, 2014 election, whose 30-P report was filed 11 days late. |
|
In connection with his request that the Board waive the late fee assessed for the late filing of the reports, Redell Comeaux Miller states that she is a first time grass roots candidate who misunderstood the form directions to mean that if cash donations were under $200, and campaign expenditures were under $2,500 there was no need to file reports. She mistakenly thought all contributions of $200 or less could be anonymous. When she realized her mistake, she had to get the addresses of the people who made contributions. She did not think that she would make it to the $2,500 mark, so she did not file the 30-P report. She realized later that she would exceed that amount and filed the required reports.
