RE:
Request that the Board waive the $200 campaign finance late fee assessed against PACE Group of Gonzales, PAC, Ascension Parish, its committee's co-chairperson, Marie Broussard, and treasurer/co-chairperson, Neal Bourque, whose May 2019 Monthly campaign finance report was filed 1 day late.
Facts:
Scott Byrd, for PACE Group of Gonzales, states that he has been filing the reports as acting treasurer for the committee. He thought that submitting the monthly report on the 10th met the requirement. Apparently, it arrived late by one day. He has submitted the final report along with the dissolution form for the committee. They donated the remaining funds last month to a local non-profit, the River Parish Community College Foundation.
