| Request that the Board waive a $660 campaign finance late fee assessed against Gary "Sprout" Spillman, a candidate for State Representative, 18th Representative District, in the February 23, 2019 election, whose Special campaign finance disclosure report was filed 11 days late. |
|
Gary Spillman states that he sent in two special reports. Campaign finance staff explained to him that he reported his personal loan of $10,000 on his 10-G report but did not file a special report with that information as required. He mistakenly thought that any personal loans only had to be reported on regular candidate's report and not a special report.
