RE:
Request that the Board waive the $1,000 campaign finance late fee assessed against Gary "Buddy" Boe, a candidate for Councilman, District 7, St. John the Baptist Parish, in the October 24, 2015 election, whose 2016 supplemental campaign finance disclosure report was filed 35 days late.
Facts:
Buddy Boe stated this report is a FINAL report and closes out for his campaign fund and any fees associated with this final report will be coming out of my personal funds. He understands the deadlines associated with filing the report late and simply asks for the Board's consideration of a waiver or reduction in the assessed fees considering this is his final report and the expenses in calendar year 2016 were minimal.
