| Request that the Board waive the $120 campaign finance late fee assessed against Michelle Wilcox, a candidate for Plaquemines Parish Sheriff in the October 24, 2015 election, whose 10-G campaign finance disclosure report was filed 2 days late. |
|
In connection with her request that the Board waive the late fee assessed for the late filing of the report, Michelle Wilcox states that her son tried to commit suicide during the time the report was due. He was admitted into the hospital and held for three days and then transferred to another hospital where he remained for some time. Since his release, he has been under the care of a psychologist. She states this has been a very difficult time for her family and asks for compassion from the Board.
