RE:
Request that the Board waive the $400 campaign finance late fee assessed against ABC Merit PAC, in its capacity as a political action committee, its committee's chairperson, Philip W. Rebowe, and treasurer, Angela M.Latino-Geir, for the March 2017 Monthly campaign finance disclosure report, which was filed 2 days late.
Facts:
Angela M. Latino-Geier, President/CEO for ABC Merit PAC, states that she has been personally processing online financial disclosure reports since December 2008, but unfortunately an unforeseen medical issue kept her from her office in April. She states she was unable to access her files and the required computer desktop system for filing the March 2017 activity report by April 10th. She respectfully requests a waiver and states she will make every effort to avoid any such filing delays in the future.
