| Request that the Board waive the $420 campaign finance late fee assessed against Bruce M. McCarthy, a candidate for City Marshal, City Court, City of Winnsboro in the November 8, 2016 election, whose 30-P campaign finance disclosure report was filed 7 days late. |

Bruce McCarthy states that, after qualifying, he had no opposition so he contacted the Ethics Board and spoke with someone on August 9, 2016, who advised him to go to the Leaders program to complete the necessary form online. He states that he filled out the form and thought he had completed the filing of the form. He states he then received a letter from the Ethics Board stating that he did not file the necessary paperwork. He called back and spoke to the same person and was told that the 30-P report was there, but it had never been submitted.
