Request that the Board waive the $400 campaign finance late fee assessed against Lucy Cooper, a candidate for Bossier Parish Police Juror, District 3, in the October 22, 2011 election, whose EDE-G campaign finance disclosure report was filed 10 days late. |

In connection with her request for a waiver of the $400 late fee assessed for the late filing of an EDE-G campaign finance report, Lucy Cooper, states that she misinterpreted the filing instructions and assumed that a report was not required if she did not have any expenditures. She further states that her campaign was totally self-funded and no contributions were accepted. Ms. Cooper maintains that this is her first election and was defeated by 73 votes.
