Request that the Board waive the $600 campaign finance late fee assessed against Daniel Ring, a candidate for Councilmember, District A, Orleans Parish, in the October 14, 2017 election, for filing the 10-G campaign finance disclosure report 20 days late. |
|
Daniel Ring states that as a first time candidate, he misread the list of candidates that were to file this report and did most of his campaign set up and management on his own. He states he did not sign for the initial certified letter (NOD) indicating that his filing had not been done and prolonged his delay. Had he been one that physically signed for and received it, he states it would have been filed in a much more timely fashion than 20 days late. He states he received the certified mail tag for this letter (Late Fee Order) just the other day even though the date of the tag was 1/10/18.
