| Request that the Board waive the $80 and $1,000 campaign finance late fees assessed against Roger Marcantel, a candidate for Police Juror, District 11, Calcasieu Parish, in the October 12, 2019 election, whose 10-P and 10-G campaign finance disclosure reports were filed 2 and 96 days late, respectively. |
|
Roger Marcantel requests a waiver for the 10-P and 10-G campaign finance reports and states the following:
It was not his intention to violate the Louisiana election requirements. His wife of 50 years had surgery just prior to his campaign. Daylight to dark campaigning and his wife's long recovery is his only defense in not filing in a timely manner.
