Request that the Board waive the $420 campaign finance late fee assessed against Scott Grindstaff, a candidate for Jefferson Parish Council, District 1 in the October 24, 2015 Election, whose 10-G campaign finance disclosure reports was filed 7 days.
Facts:
In connection with his request that the Board waive the late fee assessed for the late filing of the report, Scott Grindstaff states that he erroneously concluded that he did not have to file the 10-G report because he had not collected any money or spent anything.
