| Request that the Board waive the $1,620 campaign finance late fee assessed against Glenn Waguespack, a candidate for St. James Parish Assessor in the October 24, 2015 election, whose 10-P campaign finance disclosure report was filed 27 days late. |
|
In connection with his request that the Board waive the late fee assessed for the late filing of the report, Glenn Waguespack states that his opponent withdrew from the race five days after qualifying. When he looked at the Secretary of State's website, it listed him as unopposed and he did not think he was required to file the 10-P report.
