| Request that the Board waive the $400 campaign finance late fee assessed against Eric M. Chatelain, a candidate for Mayor, City of Harahan, Jefferson Parish, in the November 4, 2014, whose 2018 Supplemental campaign finance disclosure report was filed 24 days late. |
|
Eric M. Chatelain states that he did not receive the letter in the mail reminding him that a supplemental campaign report was due. He relies on the campaign finance letters in order to create required reports on time, especially for past elections. He has always been vigilant with submitting campaign reports on time since he began his political career. He asks the Board to accept his apologies and he hopes the Board can show leniency for his late reporting.
