RE:
Request that the Board waive the $1,100 campaign finance late fee assessed against Charlie Greer, a candidate for Commissioner of Agriculture and Forestry in the October 24, 2015 election, whose 10-G campaign finance disclosure report was filed 11 days late.
Facts:
In connection with the request that the Board waive the late fee assessed for the late filing of the report, Heather Martin, report preparer, states that since Mr. Greer did not win the primary election, she assumed that no other reports were due until his campaign account was closed and all debts and loans paid.
