| Request that the Board waive a $440 campaign finance late fee assessed against Corey J. Orgeron, a candidate for Council Member, District 4, Ascension Parish, in the October 12, 2019, whose 10-G campaign finance disclosure report was filed 11 days late. |
|
Corey J. Orgeron requests a waiver and states the following:
It was his impression that if he won in the primary that he was not obligated to submit an additional disclosure until the 40-G. He has learned that he doesn't fully understand the process and will be hiring an individual to act as treasurer for his campaign going forward to insure no future miscues.
