RE:
Request that the Board waive the $600 campaign finance late fees assessed against Michael Latino, a candidate for State Representative, 60th District, in the October 24, 2015 Election, whose 10-G campaign finance disclosure report was filed 11 days late.
Facts:
In connection with his request that the Board waive the late fee assessed for the late filing of the report, Michael Latino states that he timely provided all of the information related to the primary election. He was not aware that he was required to file additional reports for the general election, because he was not participating in it. When he was notified that the report was late, he immediately filed the report.
