RE:
Request that the Board waive a $440 campaign finance late fee assessed against Thomas M. "Tom" Tolar, a candidate for Member of School Board, District B, Tangipahoa Parish, in the November 6, 2018 election, whose 10-G campaign finance disclosure report was filed 11days late.
Facts:
Thomas M. "Tom" Tolar states that he won his election during the primary and therefore was not on the ballot for the general election. He realizes now he still needed to submit the form and he did within one hour of receiving the notice. It took 6 days for him to be notified by certified mail. He feels like a waiver of those 6 days would be fair.
