RE:
Request that the Board waive the $600 campaign finance late fee assessed against Stuart Boykin, in his capacity as a candidate for City Judge, City Court, Town of Vidalia, Concordia Parish, in the November 8, 2016 election, whose 10-G campaign finance disclosure report was filed 12 days late.
Facts:
Stuart Boykin, states that he failed to file the 10-G report timely because he was under the impression that since he expended no funds since the previous reporting date and was defeated and not in the general election that no further reports were required. He requests a waiver on the grounds of poverty and extreme debt. He states that he is a police officer and lives paycheck to paycheck with substantial debt. He states that all election bills were paid out of his pocket and he has no reserve money left.
