| Request that the Board reconsider waiving the $660 and $420 campaign finance late fees assessed against Louis Byers, a candidate for Natchitoches Parish Clerk of Court in the October 24, 2015 election, whose 30-P and 10-G campaign finance disclosure reports were filed 11 and 7 days late, respectively. |
|
|
In connection with his request that the Board waive the late fees assessed for the late filing of the reports, Louis Byers states that he mailed the 30-P report instead of electronically filing it because his clerk of court gave him a document which said it could be mailed or faxed. He states that he called the Ethics Board and was told that he did not have to file the 10-G report. However, after speaking to another candidate he realized that he would be required to file it.
