RE:
Request that the Board waive the $420 campaign finance late fee assessed against Espinola Alexander-Quinn, a candidate for St. Martin Parish Clerk of Court in the October 24, 2015 election, whose 10-G campaign finance disclosure report was filed 7 days late.
Facts:
In connection with her request that the Board waive the late fee assessed for the late filing of the report, Espinola Alexander Quinn states that she did not realize that she had to file the 10-G report because she believed the election was over. She states that she collected very little money and at the end of the election process she has no money or transactions to report.
