Request that the Board waive the $280 and $360 campaign finance late fees assessed against Tamira Moss Smith, a candidate for Councilman, District B, City of Bogalusa, Washington Parish (Pop. 12232), in the November 6, 2018 election, whose 10-P and 10-G campaign finance disclosure reports were filed 7 and 9 days late, respectively. |
|
Tamira Moss Smith states that she thought that she faxed the amended 30-P and the 10-P reports on October 29, 2018. However, she states she actually faxed over the amended 30-P twice instead of the 10-P.
Four years ago when she was a candidate, she stated she filed the 10-G report due to her being in the run off. She states she didn't file the 10-G report for this election because she wasn't in a run off and she thought it only applied to those in a runoff.
