| Request that the Board waive a $280 campaign finance late fee assessed against Deborah Vincent, as an other person in the October 12, 2019 election, whose 30-E campaign finance disclosure report was filed 7 days late. |
|
Deborah Vincent, states the following:
She did take on the responsibility of maintaining the funding and filing the necessary reporting for their billboard campaign in the October primary. This was an effort they formed late in the campaign and with little knowledge of how they should classify their donations. She was finally able to get some free advice which led her to the Ethics website and report timeline, but that put her behind for the first required report.
