Request that the Board waive the $80 campaign finance late fee assessed against Robert C. Helo, a candidate for Alderman, Ward 1, Division B, City of Crowley, Acadia Parish (Pop. 13,265), in the November 6, 2018 election, whose 10-P campaign finance disclosure report was filed 2 days late. |

Gergory M. Milton, Campaign Treasurer for Robert C. Helo, states that this was the candidate's first political race and he was unaware of the timing of the report requirements. He states that just over $2,000 was spent on his campaign and the bulk was personal funds. In light of the small amount of funding and first foray into the political arena, he asks that fine be waived.
