| Request that the Board waive a $480 campaign finance late fee assessed against Charles "Charlie" Schrumpf, a candidate for Judge, City Court, City of Sulphur, Calcaieu Parish, in the November 4, 2014 election, whose 2019 Supplemental campaign finance disclosure report was filed 8 days late. |
|
Charles Schrumpf requests a waiver and states the following:
His preparer completed the report on February 4, 2020, he reviewed the Supplemental Financial Disclosure Report and it was filed on a timely basis; however, it was not until they received a certified letter informing them that they had not filed the report, that they realized the report had not been received. They logged on to Louisiana Ethics' site and could see that the completed report was there but they had failed to send. They immediately sent the report, making sure it was received.
