Request that the Board waive the $2,500 and $2,500 campaign finance late fee assessed against Edward Collins, Sr., in his capacity as a candidate for Mayor, City of New Orleans in the October 14, 2017 election, whose 30-P and 10-P campaign finance disclosure reports have not been filed. |
|
Edward Collins states that prior to running and completing the application, he paid $700 to enter the race. He completed an application and once it was reviewed, it was determined that he was not eligible to run in the mayor's race. Also, he was told that the $700 application fee was not refundable. Since he was told that he not qualified, he didn't campaign and didn't think he had to complete the forms.
