| Request that the Board reconsider waiving the $2,000 campaign finance late fee assessed against Kenneth P. Garrett, Sr., a candidate for State Representative / 102nd Representative District in the October 24, 2015 election, who amended the 2017 supplemental campaign finance report to accurately disclose the required information after the late fee was assessed. |
|
Waiver Request
Kenneth Garrett, Sr. states that he filed the 2017 supplemental report on time and was later notified of a calculation error on his report. He requested an appointment to review the miscalculations. He states that he was told someone would get back in touch with him. Next, he says he received a letter from the Louisiana Board of Ethics notifying him of late charges assessed.
Reconsideration Request
Mr. Garrett requested that the Board reconsider waiving the $2,000 civil penalty because he is on a very limited income and it would cause him serious financial hardship. He also has medical issues and would like to Board to consider his entire financial and medical circumstances.
