RE:
Appearance in connection with a request that the board waive the $2,400 late fee assessed against the LA Academy of Physician Assistants PAC, and its chairman, Shelly Esnard, for the 180-P campaign finance disclosure report filed in connection with the October 24, 2015 election, which was filed 12 days late.
Facts:
In connection with his request that the Board reduce or waive the late fee assessed or for the late filing of the 180-P report, Shelly Esnard, Chairperson of LAPA, states that the late filing was unintentional and they have since hired Burland and Associates to assist with their filing requirements. She also states that the PAC is a young organization and a fee such as this would be financially devastating.
