RE:
Request that the Board waive a $2,000 campaign finance late fee assessed against Roger Z. Toney, a candidate for Mayor, Town of Ball, Rapides Parish, in the October 12, 2019, whose 30-P campaign finance disclosure report was filed 21 days late.
Facts:
Mr. Roger Toney requests a waiver and states:

He probably made a bad decision to run based on severe health issues. In May, he spent a week in the hospital with E.coli in his blood and was on active home health with daily IV antibiotics for weeks. In addition, he has back issues that requires periodic procedures. These issues keep him from functioning well. He is in a terrible position healthwise and financially.
