RE:
Request that the Board waive the $420 campaign finance late fee assessed against Susan Theall, a candidate for 15th Judicial District Court Judge in the November 4, 2014 election, and the campaign chairman and treasurer, Stephanie Vanfleet and Mark Shirley, whose EDE-P campaign finance disclosure report was filed 7 days late.
Facts:
In connection with her request that the Board waive the late fee assessed for the late filing of the report, Martha E. Stuckey, report preparer for Susan Theall, states that she inadvertently printed the wrong due date list for reports and was unaware of the due date of the election day report. Further, the person preparing the information for the reports was out of the office from November 4, 2014 until November 20, 2014. Upon her return, the error was discovered and the report was filed on November 21, 2014.
