RE:
Request that the Board waive the $600, $600 and $420 campaign finance late fees assessed against Nakeia Newton Madere, a candidate for East Carroll Parish Assessor in the October 24, 2015 Election, whose 30-P, 10-P and 10-G campaign finance disclosure reports were filed 56, 36 and 7 days late, respectively.
Facts:
In connection with her request that the Board waive the late fee assessed for the late filing of the report, Nakeia Newton Madere states that she faxed the required reports on September 25, 2015. When she received the notices of delinquency, she thought they were sent as reminders of the reports that she had already sent.
