| Request that the Board waive a $1,000 campaign finance late fee assessed against Lisa Tregre-Wilder, in her capacity as a candidate for Member of School Board / District 11, St. John the Baptist Parish, in the November 6, 2018 election, whose EDE-G campaign finance disclosure report was filed 195 days late. |
|
Lisa Tregre-Wilder states that she thought that she could accomplish everything herself and to compound matters, she had a brief illness that interfered with her ability to conduct business properly. She states personal unexpected debts and the urgency to maintain her residence dampen her ability to address pending political obligations. She states the weight of the magnitude of financial constraints necessitated to maintain her family obligations, prohibited her from meeting the required mandates of campaign filings. She states she worked 28 years for Tulane University before being laid off, her son's job came to an end and her husband was laid off almost immediately after qualifying.
