RE:
Request that the Board waive the $160 campaign finance late fee assessed against Vondra Dee Etienne, a candidate for Councilman, District 6, St. James Parish, in the March 24, 2018, whose 10-P campaign finance disclosure report was filed 34 days late.
Facts:
Vondra Dee Etienne states that she is unsure why the Board did not receive her 10-P report by fax, but she did receive a confirmation. She could only assume that it was received. In fairness and good faith to her, she respectfully requests a waiver for the $160.00 late fee assessment.
