RE:
Request that the Board waive a $180 campaign finance late fee assessed against Ollie Tyler, a candidate for Mayor, City of Shreveport, Bossier & Caddo Parishes, in the November 6, 2018 election, whose Special campaign finance disclosure report was filed 3 days late.
Facts:
John C. Schmidt, treasurer for Ollie Tyler Campaign, states that on December 2, 2018, it came to their attention that a donor made a contribution by credit card on November 26, 2018. Since their first notification of the contribution happened after the due date of the Special report, their only recourse was to file an amended report on December 2, 2018 to include it.
