| Request that the Board waive the $2,400 campaign finance late fee assessed against the LA Coalition Against Racism and Nazism, a political action committee, its committee chairperson, Lawrence N. Powell, and treasurer, Karen Carvin Shachat, whose 2016 Annual campaign finance report was filed 12 days late. |

Constantine Seder, report preparer for LA Coalition Against Racism and Nazism, states that he became a full-time caretaker for his wife who has cancer and other medical conditions making it difficult for her to walk and perform simple daily activities. He states that taking care of a spouse with serious medical problems can be a full-time job that distracts attention from many other responsibilities. He states that the Louisiana Coalition Against Racism and Nazism ceased operation after the election and there is currently a total of $9.19 cash on hand left over in a PayPal account.
