RE:
Request that the Board waive the $1,200 campaign finance late fee assessed against Michael "Mike" A. Fesi, a candidate for State Senate, District 20 in the October 24, 2015 Election, whose 10-G campaign finance disclosure report was filed 20 days late.
Facts:
In connection with the request that the Board waive the late fee assessed for the late filing of the report, Jon S. Folse, report preparer, states that the candidate did not believe he had to file the 10-G report because he did not participate in the general election. He immediately filed the report upon receiving the notice of delinquency.
