RE:
Request that the Board waive the $968, $400, $400 and $400 campaign finance late fees assessed against Gloria B. Wright, a candidate for East Carroll Parish School Board, District 3 in the November 4, 2014 Election, whose 30-P, 10-P, EDE-P and 10-G campaign finance disclosure reports were filed 338, 350, 365, and 389 days late, respectively.
Facts:
In connection with her request that the Board waive the late fee assessed for the late filing of the report, Gloria B. Wright states that during the time that she qualified for office she had to leave for Milwaukee to check on her father who is now deceased. Before she left, she thought she did not have to file any reports because of her activity. The only contributions she received were from herself and an in-kind donation from her daughter's father-in-law. He ordered signs for her without her knowledge. Ms. Wright submitted documentation regarding her father's death and her trip to take care of him.
