| Request that the Board waive the $2,400 campaign finance late fee assessed against the Truth in Government, a political action committee, its committee's chairperson, Glynn Durand, and treasurer, Maurice Williams, in the October 14, 2017 election whose 10-G campaign finance report was filed 12 days late. |
|
Glynn Durand, chairperson for Truth in Government, states he was unaware that there was any financial activity in the Truth in Government PAC that needed to be reported during the reporting period for the 10-G report.
