| Request that the Board waive a $480 campaign finance late fee assessed against Betty Robinson, a candidate for Member of School Board, District G, Tangipahoa Parish, in the November 6, 2018 election, whose 10-G campaign finance disclosure report was filed 12 days late. |
|

Betty Robinson states that she is currently in financial difficulty because of the needs of her brother who has been diagnosed with dementia since February 2018. Since this sudden change in life style, it has been difficult. The November 6th election paper work was late because the person that assisted her with preparing it was out of state and with the needs of her brother taking up a majority of her time, filling the paperwork was an oversight.
