| Request that the Board waive the $660 campaign finance late fees assessed against Michael "Mike" Zito, a candidate for Sheriff, West Baton Rouge Parish, in the October 12, 2019, whose 30-P campaign finance disclosure report was filed 11 days late. |
|
Charlotte and Michael Zito state the following:
She completed the report, viewed, printed a copy and submitted. She thought that the report was filed. She found out later that she failed to list the financial institution and preparer of the report. Once she received the late fee, the report was corrected and filed successfully. She has been filing reports since 2004, but never had to use the LEADERS program.
