| Request that the Board waive the $1,000 campaign finance late fee assessed against Jonathan Johnson, a candidate for Slidell City Council, District A in the April 5, 2014 Election, whose 30-P campaign finance disclosure report was filed 585 days late. |
|
|
In connection with his request that the Board waive the late fee assessed for the late filing of the report, Jonathan Johnson states that he is a first time candidate who self-financed and ran his own campaign. He states he made every attempt to understand the process of qualifying and filing appropriate documents, but he found the filing process very confusing. He assumes that he did not submit the 30-P report timely because he misread the dates that were covered by that report.
