| Request that the Board waive the $3,000 campaign finance late fee assessed against the Louisiana Common Sense Fund - IE, a political action committee, its committee's chairperson, Eric Foglesong, and treasurer, Steve Verzwyvelt, in the October 14, 2017 Election whose 10-G campaign finance report was filed 29 days late. |
|
Steve Verzwyelt, Treasurer for Louisiana Common Sense Fund - IE, states they filed the previous reports for the primary election and had no activity past the Oct. 14, 2017 primary. He states the new report would have been a duplication of the report already on file. He states the failure to file was an oversight and as soon as they realized it needed to be filed, it was filed.
