| Request that the Board waive a $100 and $600 campaign finance late fee assessed against William Scott Dykes, a candidate for District Judge, 21st Judicial District Court, Division D, Livingston Parish, in the October 12, 2019, whose 10-P and 10-G campaign finance disclosure reports were filed 1 and 6 days late, respectively. |
|
William Scott Dykes requests a waiver and states the following:
He started his campaign because the position became available at the last minute and he didn't have the money to hire a CPA. Therefore, he asked his wife to handle the filing of the reports. The primary election was over and he was not in the general election, so he spent the following two weeks removing all the his campaign signs. He and his family were worn down and ended up with some flu-like sickness.
