Request that the Board waive the $320 campaign finance late fee assessed against Timothy P. Monceaux, a candidate for Mayor, City of Crowley, Acadia Parish, in the November 6, 2018 election, whose 40-G campaign finance disclosure report was filed 8 days late.
Facts:
Timothy P. Monceaux states that he mistakenly marked January 27, 2019, on his calendar as the due date for the report instead of January 17th. He states that he has always been on time with his previous reports. He appreciates the Board's kind consideration of his request.
