| Request that the Board waive a $1,400 campaign finance late fee assessed against Riser PAC, in its capacity as a political action committee, its committee's chairperson, Hartwell Neil Riser, and treasurer, Annette McGuffee, in the October 12, 2019, whose 10-G campaign finance disclosure report was filed 7 days late. |
|
Hartwell Neil Riser, chairperson for Riser PAC, and Annette C. McGuffee, treasurer for Riser PAC, request a waiver and state the following:
Please understand that their campaign reports are filed by a CPA and that they have always filed reports in a timely manner. He feels that a $1,400 would place him in a hardship situation. Ms. McGuffee only serves as treasurer on this account and does not do any of the reporting.
