RE:
Request that the Board waive the $300 campaign finance late fee assessed against Rose "Ree" Williams Carey, a candidate for Councilman, Metro District 12 in the November 8, 2016 election, whose 40-G campaign finance disclosure report was filed 5 days late.
Facts:
Rose Williams Carey states that they were still in need of a donor's address, which caused the delay. Upon obtaining the addressees, regretfully, she states they missed the deadline. With a sincere apology, Ms. Carey asks that the board please waive any delinquent fees, as all funds have been depleted from her campaign account.
