| Request that the Board waive the $800, $200 and $1,800 campaign finance late fees assessed against Artis Cash, a candidate for Caddo Parish Assessor in the October 24, 2015 Election, whose 30-P, 10-P and 10-G campaign finance disclosure reports were filed 8, 2 and 18 days late, respectively. |

In connection with his request that the Board waive the late fee assessed for the late filing of the report, Cynthia Bledsoe, Treasurer, states that a change of events caused her to be late in filing the required reports timely. She stated that she filled out the wrong form for the first report and faxed it in. After multiple occasions of speaking with Campaign Finance staff, she was finally able to get everything filed properly.
