RE:
Request that the Board waive the $60 campaign finance late fee assessed against Vereta Lee, in her capacity as a candidate for State Rep / 29th Dist in the April 9, 2016 election, whose 10-P campaign finance disclosure report was filed 1 day late.
Facts:
Vereta T. Lee states that she and her attorney attempted to file the report electronically, but it kept rejecting the report and it was after 5:00 pm so they had no one to call for assistance. Her attorney suggested that she fax the report even though it was required to be filed electronically. She states she did so on March 30, 2016 at Kinko's.
