| Request that the Board waive the $240 campaign finance late fee assessed against Jackie Brown-Cockerham, a candidate for Councilman, District 1, City of Kenner (Pop. 66702), in the March 24, 2018 election, whose 10-G campaign finance disclosure report was filed 6 days late. |
|
Jackie Brown-Cockerham states that she inadvertently left the form to file the 10-G report at home while in Tennessee on a family emergency. Around April 8, 2018, she states she called and spoke with a staff member about her being out of town and forgetting the report at home. She states they also talked about the amendments that were due. She states she thought the staff member offered her a 10 day extension on all of her reports. However, after receiving the late fee order and speaking to the staff member, she found out the extension was only for the amendments.
