Request that the Board waive the $3,000 campaign finance late fee assessed against Louisiana Patriot Justice PAC; it's committee's chairperson, Tammie Jo Lowe; and, treasurer, Rebecca Wren, whose 40-G campaign finance disclosure report was filed 56 days late. |
|
Tammie Lowe states that on 11/17/2015, she submitted a Special Report twice and then submitted it again on 2/29/2016. The document submitted on 11/17/15 was what she understood to be the form that was due. The Special Report never changed from what was filed on 11/17/2015 or 2/29/2016 and she didn't realize another report was due. She requests that the late fee be removed.
