RE:
Request that the Board waive the $780 campaign finance late fee assessed against Henry "Junior" Rodriguez, Jr., a candidate for St. Bernard Parish Clerk of Court in the October 24, 2015 election, whose 10-G campaign finance disclosure report was filed 13 days late.
Facts:
Henry Rodriguez requests that the Board waive the late fee for the 10-G report because he was having medical problems at the time the report was due.
