RE:
Request that the Board reconsider waiving the $600 campaign finance late fee assessed against Frank Duson, Jr., in his capacity as a candidate for City Marshal, City Court, Town of Vidalia, Concordia Parish in the November 8, 2016 election, whose 10-P campaign finance disclosure report was filed 16 days late.
Facts:
Frank Duson, Jr., states that he did not receive a notice informing him that his 10-P report was late because it was not sent to his P.O. Box mailing address. Instead, he states that it was sent to his old address at 214 Wallace Circle where his children still live. He stated that his children finally called him about the letter that was sent and he immediately filed the report. Unfortunately, he states it was 16 days late by that point.
