RE:
Request that the Board waive the $200 campaign finance late fee assessed against Bobby Joe Cooper, a candidate for Councilman/District A, City of Shreveport, Bossier & Caddo Parish in the November 4, 2014 Election, whose EDE-P campaign finance disclosure report was filed 5 days late.
Facts:
In connection with his request that the Board waive the late fee assessed for the late filing of the reports, Bobby Joe Cooper states that his accountant submitted the form late without him having knowledge of the late submission. He is deeply apologetic of this matter. He submitted financial documents showing that he cannot afford to pay the fine because of his medical bills and low income.
