RE:
Request that the Board waive the $720 campaign finance late fee assessed against L. Davis Silk, a candidate for Grant Parish Clerk of Court in the October 24, 2015 election, whose 10-G campaign finance disclosure report was filed 12 days late.
Facts:
In connection with his request that the Board waive the late fee assessed for the late filing of the report, L. Davis Silk states that he thought he did not have to file the 10-G report because he lost in the primary election. He states that the day he received his notice of delinquency, he filed the report.
