RE:
Request that the Board waive the $240 in campaign finance late fees assessed against Lanell Swindler Landry, Clerk of Court for Pointe Coupee Parish, in the October 24, 2015 Election, whose 30-P campaign finance disclosure report was filed 4 days late.
Facts:
In connection with the request that the Board waive the late fee, Lanell S. Landry states that she filed the report late due to time constraints and software problems. She states that she was busy with an Objection to Candidacy for a candidate in her parish in which an Appeal was filed. She also was unaware that the LEADERS software was upgraded, but her account was not automatically upgraded which caused her to be delayed in filing her report.
