| Request that the Board waive the $60 and $540 campaign finance late fees assessed against Ted A. Richard, a candidate for Lafayette Parish Council Member, District 2, in the October 12, 2019 election, whose 30-P and 10-G campaign finance disclosure reports were filed 1 day and 9 days late, respectively. |
|
Ted A. Richard states the following:
30-P report
This was his first time to run for public office and he didn't know the 30-P report was not submitted until he was contacted by a columnist with the newspaper. He contacted our office and was told "everything was OK" and assumed he was not going to be penalized.
10-G report
He called the Ethics Board on two separate occasions before the report was due to get assistance regarding the necessity of filing the 10-G report since he did not participate in the general election. He also needed information about which form to use for the 10-G. He did not receive phone calls back and was finally assisted when he called back on November 15, 2019, which is the day he filed the report.
