RE:
Request that the Board waive a $400 campaign finance late fee assessed against Anthony E "Tony" Nations, a candidate for Member of School Board, District 10, Caddo Parish, in the November 6, 2018 election, whose 2019 Supplemental campaign finance disclosure report was filed 49 days late.
Facts:
Anthony E "Tony" Nations requests a waiver and states the following:
This is a formal request to have any late fees and/or penalties waived, in connection with my filing a late supplemental report. He states he is in the midst of a divorce proceeding. He was not made aware of the certified letter informing him that this report was due. He was having his mail forwarded, but the forwarding date had passed. He just was given the letter (NOD) yesterday. He has never asked for a waiver before, and he will do his best to not file any future reports late. Any consideration, he could be afforded would be most appreciated.
