Request that the Board waive the $320 campaign finance late fee assessed against Harold Brooks, Jr., a candidate for Chief of Police, Town of White Castle (Pop. 1883), in the November 6, 2018 election, whose 30-P campaign finance disclosure report was filed 8 days late. |

Harold Brooks, Jr. states that the 30-P report was not filed timely because this is the first time that he tried to submit the report online through LEADERS software. He went through the training and felt assured that he could do it himself, but found out that he was doing it wrong. Also, he states that his next door neighbor died unexpectedly and he lost focus for a few days trying to console them. After several errors, he later asked someone else to help him, but unfortunately it was too late.
