RE:
Request that the Board waive the $180 campaign finance late fee assessed against Henry Wayne Boyles, a candidate for Caldwell Parish Sheriff in the October 24, 2015 Election, whose 30-P campaign finance disclosure report was filed 3 days late.
Facts:
In connection with her request that the Board waive the late fee assessed for the late filing of the report, Sherry Boyles Jones, report preparer for Henry W. Boyles, states that on September 23, 2015 she filed uploaded the campaign finance report to the Ethics Board website. She did not realize that this is only allowed for Personal Financial Disclosures until she received a letter from the Ethics Board. Ms. Jones apologizes for the error and is embarrassed that she thought uploading a file was the same as electronically filing.
