| Request that the Board consider waiving the $640 campaign finance late fee assessed against Terence Vinson, a candidate for Member of School Board, District 3, Caddo Parish, in the November 6, 2018 election, whose 10-G campaign finance disclosure report was filed 16 days late. |
|
Terence Vinson states that he made an error in the report filing and takes full responsibility and does not want to give the impression it's anyone's responsibility but his own. He states he overlooked a filing date because he had nothing to report given he was defeated. Additionally, he had already filed another report (2019 Supplemental report) prior to receiving the letter concerning late fee assessment for the November 6, 2018 election. Finally, he states that he is a state employee and simply does not have the funds to pay this fee.
