| Appearance in connection with a request that the Board waive the $2,000 and $2,000 campaign finance late fees assessed against Antoinette Williams, a candidate for Plaquemine City Marshal in the November 4, 2014 Election, whose EDE-P and 10-G campaign finance disclosure reports were filed 416 and 404 days late, respectively. |
|
In connection with her request that the Board waive the late fee assessed for the late filing of the reports, Antoinette Williams states that she did not know her reports were not filed until she came to the Ethics' office on an unrelated matter and was notified that the EDE-P and 10-G reports were late. She states that her treasurer, Felecia Beloney, told her the reports were filed. Unfortunately, she was forced to change treasurers in the middle of her campaign.
Ms. Williams states that the late fees would be a great hardship to her because she is currently unemployed.
