RE:
Request that the Board waive the $200 campaign finance late fee assessed against Alfred "Al" Carter, a candidate for Lafourche Parish Council, District 1 in the October 24, 2015 election, whose 40-G campaign finance disclosure report was filed 5 days late.
Facts:
In connection with his request that the Board waive the late fee assessed for the late filing of the report, Alfred Carter states that he did not think he needed to file the 40-G report, because he had not spent over $2,500.

After reviewing the fax filings, it was determined that the 10-G report was timely filed. Therefore, the late fee for 10-G report was rescinded.
