| Request that the Board waive the $1,000 campaign finance late fee assessed against Antonia Caine, a candidate for Councilman / District 4, City of Baker, East Baton Rouge Parish, in the March 5, 2016 election, whose 10-G campaign finance report was 322 days late. |
|
Antonia Caine states that this is her first time as a candidate and she misunderstood the requirement for the filing of the 10-G report because she didn't have any funds available and the reports were so close that she thought that only one report was due. She states that she has a strong desire to become an elected official, and therefore would never purposely omit a process that would hinder that goal.
