Waiver request submitted by Pamela McCann, candidate for the Lafourche Parish School Board in the November 6, 2018 election, regarding a $100 late fee assessed for filing her amended 2017 Tier 2 candidate pfd 1 days late. |

Mrs. McCann states that she received the NOD the same day she left town for a medical procedure in Alabama. When she returned, she called the Board to determine how to correct her errors. She does not have a fax machine at home and asked her husband to fax it from his office on 8/22/18. His work fax machine was not working until the next day when he faced her Election PFD.
