| Request that the Board waive the $1,000 campaign finance late fee assessed against Stephen Saussy, a candidate for Aldermen, Town of Abita Springs, St. Tammany Parish, in the November 6, 2018 election, whose 2018 Supplemental campaign finance disclosure report was filed 76 days late. |
|
Stephen Saussy states that he wasn't aware that if there wasn't any activity that he needed to submit a supplemental campaign financial disclosure report.
On May 2, 2019, Mr. Saussy amended the 10-G report which closed out his campaign and he was not required to file the 2018 Supplemental report.
