| Request that the Board waive the $360 campaign finance late fee assessed against Phillip L. Johnson, a candidate for Member of School Board, District 7, St. John the Baptist Parish, in the November 6, 2018 election, whose 10-G campaign finance disclosure report was filed 9 days late. |
|
Tiffany J Butler, report preparer for Phillip L. Johnson, states that she thought that she had sent off all documents before going out of town for a business meeting. Because this was her first time filing a campaign finance report, she knows there were several discrepancies that needed attention and reached out to the Ethics office for guidance and ended up emailing her contact all the recorded financial information needed to file the reports correctly. Mr. Johnson paid for most of his campaigning out of pocket and used any donations received towards his campaign. There is no more money left to take care of this additional expense.
