RE:
Request that the Board waive the $1,200 in campaign finance late fees assessed against Ricky Goff, a candidate for Councilman, District 7, Livingston Parish in the October 24, 2015 Election, whose 30-P campaign finance disclosure report was filed 5 days late and 2014 Annual report was filed 260 days late.
Facts:
In connection with his request that the Board waive or reduce the late fees assessed for the late filing of the report. Ricky Goff states that the person handling the filing of the reports had unforeseen circumstances on their part which caused the reports to not be filed on time. This placed him in a position that was out of his control and caused the unintentional late filings.
