| Request that the Board waive a $487 campaign finance late fee assessed against Frank Homer Scheufens, a candidate for Police Juror, District 3, Acadia Parish, in the October 12, 2019 election, whose 10-G campaign finance disclosure report was filed 16 days late. |
|
Homer Scheufens requests a waiver and states the following:
He completed the reports on 11/11/2019 to be faxed from Bank of Commerce. However, the bank was closed for Veteran's Day. On 11/12/2019, a member of the Bank of Commerce was supposed to fax the report. He is not sure why it didn't get faxed at that time.
