RE:
Request that the Board waive the $400 campaign finance late fee assessed against Rodney N. Erdey, in his capacity as a candidate for Mayor, Town of Livingston in the November 8, 2016 election, whose 10-G campaign finance disclosure report was filed 19 days late.
Facts:
Rodney Erdey states that he faxed the 10-G report to the Ethics Board on November 28, 2016 prior to the deadline. However, he states that he later discovered that the document was incorrectly inserted into the fax machine and the pages came through as blank. He stated that his secretary was using an unfamiliar facsimile machine set up in their temporary location, because the normal machine and office was inundated by August, 2016 flood waters.
