| Request that the Board waive a $480 campaign finance late fee assessed against Emily Stoma, a candidate for Mayor, City of Crowley, Acadia Parish, in the November 6, 2018 election, whose 10-G campaign finance disclosure report was filed 12 days late. |
|
Troy J. Breaux, report preparer for Emily Stoma, states the late filing of the 10-G report was in no way intentional. Confusion on his part between the terms primary and general, as to elections, is what caused him to think that a final report at year end is all they were required to submit.
