RE:
Request that the Board waive the $800 campaign finance late fee assessed against Danil Faust, in his capacity as a candidate for Clerk, Criminal District Court, Orleans Parish in the October 14, 2017 election, whose 30-P campaign finance disclosure report was filed 8 days late.
Facts:
Danil Faust states that he did not file the 30 -P until September 22, 2017 because he had been served a notice of the objection to his candidacy before any donations had been received and he did not accept any offered until the outcome of the suit was determined. He was disqualified on July 25, 2017 and he promptly dissolved his campaign committee by filing the Form F205 electronically.
