| Request that the Board waive the $600 campaign finance late fee assessed against Johnnie J. Henderson, a candidate for Madison Parish Sheriff in the October 24, 2015 election, whose 30-P campaign finance disclosure report was filed 15 days late. |
|
|
In connection with her request that the Board waive the late fee assessed for the late filing of the report, Johnnie J. Henderson states that the 30-P report was late because she did not understand the electronic filing requirements that had been put into place since the previous election. She states that once she received the late fee notice, she immediately tried to correct the mistake, but it took several days to get a password.
