RE:
Request that the Board waive the $480 and $420 campaign finance late fees assessed against William Dudley Claxton, a candidate for St. Helena Parish Clerk of Court in the October 24, 2015 Election, whose 30-P and 10-G campaign finance disclosure reports were filed 8 and 7 days late, respectively.
Facts:
In connection with his request that the Board waive the late fees assessed for the late filing of the reports, William Dudley Claxton states that this is his first election and he unfortunately made some mistakes. He states that he does not own a personal computer or phone connected to the Internet. He had to ask for time on a computer at the public library and could not use it until one was available. He also states that he is a veteran and a patient recovering from heart surgery.
