RE:
Request that the Board waive the $360 campaign finance late fee assessed against Walter Daniels, III, a candidate for Member of School Board, District A, Tangipahoa Parish, in the November 6, 2018 election, whose Special campaign finance disclosure report was filed 9 days late.
Facts:
Walter Daniels, III, states that he did not look at the filing schedule correctly regarding the Special report. He also states that he received the $500 check on October 29, 2018 and mistakenly reported it as received as October 25, 2018 because the check was dated October 25, 2018.
