A Special report due September 20, 2010 and filed 1day late, in connection with the October 2, 2010 election. The $40 assessed late fee in connection with the September 20, 2010 election has been paid.
In connection with his request for a waiver of the $80 and $160 assessed for the late filings of his Special campaign finance reports, Tommy Eschete states that he became confused with the filing requirements because there was not a runoff for the general election. He assumed that he did not need to file until the prescribed dates following the general election. He further states that this is his first election and he made every good faith effort to timely file his reports. He immediately filed all required reports after receiving notice from the Campaign Finance division that he missed a deadline.
Mr. Eschete is an any other level candidate.
