| Request that the Board waive the $600 campaign finance late fee assessed against the International Union of Operating Engineers, a political action committee, its committee's chairperson, D. Jason Billings, and treasurer, Peter Babin IV, whose 2018 August monthly campaign finance report was filed 3 days late. |
|
Alex Fugatt, bookkeeper for the International Union of Operating Engineers, states that he was unfortunately not made aware of the correct due date when he took over his bookkeeping position. He states that their organization has been diligently submitting monthly reports since 2006 with only one other late fee assessment and assures that they will have no further issues moving forward with submitting the monthly reports on time.
