RE:
Request that the Board waive the $1,025 campaign finance late fee assessed against John "Jay" Batt, Jr., in his capacity as a candidate for New Orleans City Council/District A, in the February 6, 2010 election, whose 2015 supplemental campaign finance disclosure report was filed 22 days late.
Facts:
Beth Constant states she and a co-worker, Mary Tober, have been desperately trying to get this account closed for several years. They have been in constant contact with so many people at the Board of Ethics' office and are perplexed as to why this balance exist. The last notes were that Mary spoke with Michele Andrieu on 4/4/2016 to verify that this account was closed and that all reports had been filed correctly and in a timely matter.
