| Request that the Board waive the $1,000 campaign finance late fee assessed against Donald Little, a candidate for Member of School Board, District 4, Caddo Parish, in the November 6, 2018 election, whose 10-G campaign finance disclosure report was filed 78 days late. |
|
Donald Little states that this was his first campaign for public office. He and his assistant did not realize a 10 -G report applied to candidates who had won their primary election and therefore were not running a general campaign. His assistant became aware of the missed report when she was preparing to file the Supplemental report. She immediately filed the 10-G and call the Ethics Administration office to inquire why we had not received notification that they had missed the report deadline. She was told a letter had been mailed in December, but neither his wife nor him recall receiving it. A certified letter was apparently sent in January, but as he was traveling for business, there was no one home to sign for it and it was returned.
