RE:
Request that the Board waive the $1,000 campaign finance late fee assessed against Jack Clampit, in his capacity as a candidate for the Ouachita Parish Police Juror / District B in the October 24, 2015 election, whose 2015 supplemental campaign finance disclosure report was filed 190 days late.
Facts:
Jack Clampit states that there are several factors involved in his late filing. He said the report was faxed; however, a transmittal receipt was not kept. Mr. Clampit didn't consider it a major report because of the wording on the filing instructions. He was neither supporting nor opposing anything so he felt like it wasn't required to be filed.
