Request that the Board waive the $480 campaign finance late fee assessed against Joanna Massey, a candidate for Ouachita Parish Assessor, in the October 22, 2011 election, whose EDE-P campaign finance disclosure report was filed 8 days late. |
|
In connection with his request for a waiver of the $480 late fee assessed for the late filing of an EDE-P campaign finance report, L. Fred Monroe, Jr., states that he has been preparing the candidate's reports and since the candidate did not have any expenditures, it was his understanding that a report was not required. He maintains that he did not intend to not comply with the requirement of filing the report, it was just an innocent and unintentional error on his part. Ms. Massey is a district level candidate. This is her first campaign. She was an unsuccessful candidate.
