| Request that the Board waive the $1,020 campaign finance late fee assessed against Wydette Williams, a candidate for Sheriff, East Carroll Parish, in the October 24, 2015 election, whose 2018 Supplemental campaign finance disclosure report was filed 17 days late. |
|
Wydette Williams states that the reporting period of 2018 was clearly an oversight in regards to the dates. The report was complete as of March 4, in which the target date was March 15, 2018, but the actual due date of the report was February 15, 2018. She states that her actions were in good faith and corrections have been made to prevent this from occurring again.
