| Request that the Board waive the $600 campaign finance late fee assessed against Lonny Myles, in his capacity as a candidate for City Judge, City Court, City of Zachary in the November 8, 2016 election, whose 30-P campaign finance disclosure report was filed 27 days late. |

Lonny Myles states that his office flooded in August. When notified by the Ethics Commission that he failed to timely file, he contacted the office via telephone and was told he could fax the report. That was done immediately. Then he received another notice that the information was incorrect and the fees continued to accrue. He refiled the report electronically as soon as he was notified. Mr. Myles was under the impression that he was only required to file his report with the LA Supreme Court, which he did. Having no opponent, nor any expenditures nor receipts, he was not aware he needed to file.
