| Request that the Board waive the $720 campaign finance late fee assessed against Bernadine St. Cyr, in her capacity as a candidate for Council Member, District 1, City of New Roads, Pointe Coupee Parish, in the November 6, 2018 election, whose 10-P campaign finance disclosure report was filed 18 days late. |
|
Bernadine St. Cyr states that she deeply regrets that the report was late. She states she trusted a friend to fax the report and was told it was done. Because she was very busy with the campaign, she states she went to get her copy days later and was told by her friend that she forgot to fax the report. She is asking that a portion of the fee be waived and/or allow her to pay it in 2 -3 payments.
