RE:
Request that the Board waive the $320 campaign finance late fee assessed against Fred Moss, IV, a candidate for Parish Commission Member, District 12, Caddo Parish in the October 14, 2017 election, whose 10-P campaign finance disclosure report was filed 8 days late.
Facts:
Fred Moss states that the report was filed 8 days late due to a misunderstanding with the filing of the information. He states that a lot of changes have happened with his campaign staff in the last few months and it was hard to find someone reliable to be treasurer and handle his reports. Once he was notified of another late assessment, he stated he would have to take care of these matters himself.
