RE:
Request that the Board waive the $480 campaign finance late fee assessed against Helen Hart, a candidate for Washington Parish Assessor in the October 24, 2015 election, whose 10-P campaign finance disclosure report was filed 8 days late.
Facts:
In connection with her request that the Board waive the late fee assessed for the late filing of the report, Helen Hart states that during the month of October 2015, she went through a lot of stressful situations including an unexpected illness of her 83 year old mother and the pressure and commitment of running a clean grass roots campaign. She states that once she received notice that the report was late, she immediately filed it.
