RE:
Request that the Board waive the $440 campaign finance late fee assessed against Gerrin John Narcisse, a candidate for St. Tammany Parish Council, District 7 in the October 24, 2015 election, whose 10-G campaign finance disclosure report was filed 11 days late.
Facts:
In connection with his request that the Board waive the late fee assessed for the late filing of the report, Gerrin John Narcisse states that his finance person inadvertently filed the report late. He states that he is a Social Studies teacher and a $440 late fee would cause great hardship to his family. Mr. Narcisse submitted financial documentation supporting his request.
