RE:
Request that the Board waive the $440 and $320 campaign finance late fees assessed against Tina Miceli, a candidate for Mayor, City of Harahan, Jefferson Parish, in the November 6, 2018 election, whose Special campaign finance disclosure reports were filed 11 and 8 days late, respectively.
Facts:
Tina Miceli states that in reference to the Special report (11 days), she misinterpreted the instructions from the "Schedule Of Reporting And Filing Dates." In reference to the Special report (8 Days Late), she states that she filed it after receiving the previous letter of February 6, 2019 for the late fee assessment for the other Special report. She apologizes and states that the late filings were simply because of human error and not intentional.
