RE:
Request that the Board waive the $60 and $60 campaign finance late fees assessed against Rev. Rodney Blair Nicholas, a candidate for St. John the Baptist Parish Assessor in the October 24, 2015 Election, whose 10-P and 10-G campaign finance disclosure reports were filed 1 and 1 day late, respectively.
Facts:
In connection with his request that the Board waive the late fee assessed for the late filing of the report, Reverend Rodney Blair Nicholas states that he was late filing the reports because it was necessary to speak with personnel at his bank in order to file a complete report. He states that he wanted to be as accurate as possible with his reports.
