| Request that the Board waive the $900 campaign finance late fee assessed against Glenn Cornell, a candidate for Caddo Parish Sheriff in the October 12, 2019 election, whose 90-P campaign finance disclosure report was filed 9 days late. |
|
Glenn Cornell states that he is a first time candidate running for Sheriff in Caddo Parish. He states that he completed the 90-P report on July 7, 2019 and thought he had filed it that same day. He clicked submit and didn't realize the report wasn't submitted until he received the notice of delinquency on July, 24, 2019. He immediately checked online to see if the report was filed. When he checked online and saw the report had not been filed he clicked submit again and received a fatal issue message saying the preparer's name was missing. He filled in the missing information and resubmitted the report. Due to his inexperience and not knowing how to ensure the report was successfully submitted, he asks the board leniency and assures this mistake will not occur again.
