RE:
Request that the Board waive the $600 campaign finance late fee assessed against Walter M. Krause, a candidate for Catahoula Parish Police Jury, Clerk of Court in the October 24, 2015 election, whose 2015 supplemental campaign finance disclosure report was filed 107 days late.
Facts:
In connection with his request that the Board waive the late fee assessed for the late filing of the report, Jessica Krause, wife of Walter Krause, states that the report was late due to issues she had with her report preparer and that during the time the reports were due, two family members were ill and died.
