| Request that the Board waive a $400 campaign finance late fee assessed against Kristy Hebert, a candidate for Member of School Board, District H, Vermilion Parish, in the November 6, 2018 election, whose 10-G campaign finance disclosure report was filed 50 days late. |
|
Kristy Hebert states that she was unaware that the 10-G report had to be filed and the last report required to be filed was the Election Day Expenditure Report. She states that she truly thought she timely filed all required reports and she is extremely sorry for this oversight. Now that she has taken the campaign finance class at the LSBA convention, she states she is aware of these requirements and this will not happen again.
Ms. Hebert also stated that she is a single mother with a child with several medical issues and cannot afford to pay the late fee.
