| Request that the Board waive the $500 campaign finance late fee assessed against Jennifer Treadway, a candidate for State Treasurer in the October 24, 2015 election, whose 10-G campaign finance disclosure report was filed 5 days late. |
|
In connection with her request that the Board waive the late fee assessed for the late filing of the report, Shelby Carnahan, report preparer and CPA, states that on October 25, 2015, her office building experienced a flood and she was forced to move abruptly and work from a remote location for two weeks. During the move, the employee that was responsible for the bookkeeping of the campaign reports quit. She states she called the Ethics Board and asked for an extension due to the circumstances.
Ms. Carnahan submitted documentation regarding the flooding of her office building.
