RE:
Request that the Board waive the $280 campaign finance late fee assessed against Mel Percy, a candidate for Councilman, West Feliciana Parish, in the October 24, 2015 election, whose 10-G campaign finance disclosure report was filed 7 days late.
Facts:
In connection with his request that the Board waive the late fee assessed for the late filing of the report, Mel Percy states that he has now hired Gene Dawson to file and handle all of his reports so there should be no reason for them to be late in the future.
