RE:
Request that the Board waive the $40 campaign finance late fee assessed against Greg "George G." Cromer, a candidate for Mayor, City of Slidell in the March 24, 2018 election, whose Special (48 Hour) campaign finance disclosure report was filed 1 day late.
Facts:
Greg Cromer states that his accountant, Troy Dubuisson's, father passed away and the funeral was on April 24th. He states the report was due on the 26th and because Troy was dealing with family issues the date was overlooked. Mr. Cromer sincerely apologizes for the report being submitted a day late and respectfully requests a waiver of the $40 late fee considering the circumstances and the fact that he hasn't submitted a report late in the past.
