Request that the Board waive the $600 and $600 campaign finance late fees assessed against Scott Songy, a candidate for State Senator, 9th District in the October 24, 2015 Election, whose 30-Pand 10-G campaign finance disclosure reports were filed 15 and 11 days late. |

In connection with his request that the Board waive the late fee assessed for the late filing of the report, Scott Songy states that he is a quadriplegic individual who was distraught over what he felt was a lack of representation and decided to enter the race. After some time, he felt he would not be successful so he withdrew from the race.
