| Request that the Board waive the $160 campaign finance late fee assessed against Britton Carroll, a candidate for Police Juror, District 5, Grant Parish in the October 24, 2015 election, whose 2018 Supplemental campaign finance disclosure report was filed 4 days late. |
|
Britton Carroll states that he did make an attempt on Friday, February 15th to file the report via fax. However, on Saturday after further examination of the number he sent it to, he realized he sent it to a phone number instead of the fax number. He does not have a scanner, or he would have attempted to upload a file via email. He lives in a rural area and usually goes to the local bank to fax, and attempted this first thing Monday, but realized all banks were closed due to President's Day. He did fax the report at the first opportunity he had on Tuesday.
