RE:
Request that the Board waive the $480 campaign finance late fee assessed against Ashley L. Page, a candidate for Lincoln Parish Clerk of Court in the October 24, 2015 election, whose 10-G 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, Ashley Page states that her failure to file the 10-G report was an honest mistake. She states that she has never run for office before and did not know that she had to file the report when no expenditures were made. She states that she is struggling financially as a single parent who does not receive child support.
