| Request that the Board waive the $240 campaign finance late fee assessed against Heather Reid Howle, a candidate for West Feliciana Parish Council, District D in the October 24, 2015 election, whose 10-G campaign finance disclosure report was filed 6 days late. |
|
In connection with her request that the Board waive the late fee assessed for the late filing of the report, Heather Reid Howle states that her husband faxed the report on the due date and received a "complete" message. She explained that the fax machine does not print a report. She did not realize the report was not received until she received a letter from the Ethics Board. She immediately faxed the report again on her iPhone app.
