| Request that the Board reconsider waiving the $400 campaign finance late fee assessed against Tamara L. Jones, a candidate for St. Bernard Parish Constable, Justice of the Peace, Ward J in the November 4, 2014 Election, whose 40-G campaign finance disclosure report was filed 12 days late. |
|
Tamara Jones states that a few days prior to the 40-G report being due, she had to relieve her campaign's financial manager of her duties and hire a new manager. She states this process took a few days and caused the report to be delayed. Once the new manager, Robert Green, took the position, she states he worked diligently to get all reports caught up, but was unable to meet the deadline.
Ms. Jones stated that the late fee would create a financial hardship on her and she would be unable to pay it.
