| Request that the Board waive a $300 campaign finance late fee assessed against Brett Lang, in his capacity as a candidate for City Marshal, City Court, City of New Iberia Parish, in the October 12, 2019 election, whose 10-P campaign finance disclosure report was filed 5 days late. |
|
Brett Lang states the following:
He had someone assisting and teaching him how to complete the report. That person had surgery on her eyes unexpectedly thus causing the delay in filing. This is his first time running for public office. He received a letter dated February 4, 2020, requesting documentation to support this claim. The lady who was assisting him was strictly giving of her time to teach him and he feels it would be an invasion of her privacy to ask her to submit her medical records to this board. As you can see, all of the other reports were submitted on time and without issue.
