| Request that the Board waive the $400 campaign finance late fee assessed against Kerry Lincoln, a candidate for Member of Parish Council, District 8, Plaquemines Parish, in the November 6, 2018 election, whose 10-G campaign finance disclosure report was filed 22 days late. |
|
Robin Callegan, report preparer for Kerry Lincoln, states that she was hired to prepare and file Mr. Lincoln's campaign reports for the November 6, 2018 election. The 10-G report was not filed because Mr. Lincoln was not in the general election. Therefore, she filed his final report December 20, 2018. She misunderstood the filing schedule, believing that there was no report, except the final report to file if he was no longer a candidate.
